Good kōrero from the bro Haki, Jump over and give the bro a follow whanau. Has some meke content 🌊💯

Around this time of year divers around Aotearoa are gearing up to get a kai for Christmas. Something I often highlight to my brothers/sisters who dive is CHRISTMAS KAI WITHOUT KAIMOANA IS BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS KAI WITHOUT YOU!! My fellow kairuku (Divers) please don't put pressure on yourself or your whanau just to have the meke kaimoana spread on the table, and PLEASE DO NOT DIVE ALONE.

Tangaroa can be unforgiving and has claimed some of the best among us! Having a dive buddy isn’t being soft it’s being smart. You watch their back, they watch yours. If you’re freediving, One up, one down…take turns dropping down while the one on the surface keeps an eye out. Scuba crew - plan your dive, then actually stick to the plan. Have a lost diver plan sorted too, so if anything does hit the fan, help can roll in fast instead of “where the hell did he go?”

I have always been about the mish when it came to diving, but since having a family and having them come along watch me in the water, i now understand There is a role for everyone…..even for those onshore - whether it be shark scout, cooker of bbq, or watcher of kids Make sure at least one whanau member has eyes on divers - it’s easy to lose focus onshore when you have a bunch of distractions

Honour Tangaroa and Hinemoana in a way that feels right to you!! For me, i honour and pay homage to Tangaroa and Hinemona with a karakia to start and end by giving thanks. This season can bring challenges, so let’s do our best to stay safe and enjoy every moment together. With love and respect to all divers, whānau, and friends.

Dive safe, home safe.

🔥Kia ora e te whānau,
Greetings whānau,

Kei te tata mai ngā hararei, ā, he maha ngā kairuku e whakarite ana ki te kohi kai moana mō te tēpu Kirihimete😎
The holiday season is upon us, and many divers are preparing to gather kaimoana for the Christmas table.

He wā nui tēnei, engari koinei anō te wā e maha ake ai ngā aituā ruku i Aotearoa🙏
It is a special time, but sadly, it is also when we see an increase in diving incidents across Aotearoa.

He whakamaumaharatanga ngākau māhaki: kia noho haumaru.💪
A gentle reminder: please prioritise safety.

Kaua e pēhi i ō kairuku kia haere ruku, ā, ko koutou hoki ngā kairuku—kaua e rongo i te pēhitanga ki te haere mēnā kāore e haumaru.😵‍💫
Do not pressure your divers to collect kai, and divers — do not feel pressured to go out if conditions aren’t right.

He mahi uaua te ruku, ā, ka tū tonu te moana mō tētahi atu rā.🔥
Diving is demanding work, and the ocean will always be there another day.

He Kirihimete kāore he kaimoana, he Kirihimete pai tonu.💯💯💯💯💯
A Christmas without kaimoana is still a wonderful celebration.

Engari he Kirihimete kāore tētahi o te whānau, kāore e taea te whakakapi.🙏💯🙏
But a Christmas without a whānau member is a loss that can never be replaced.

Manaakitia tātou i a tātou anō, kia tika ngā whakatau, ā, me hoki ora mai te katoa.💪😎
Let us care for one another, make wise decisions, and ensure everyone returns home safely.

Ngā manaakitanga ki a koutou katoa.
Warm regards to you all

Thank you to the cuzzy Outdertuuku I drew inspiration from your post brother 🌊🙏
