Octopus
Hi Neighbours.
I love to dive, it is good for my mind and soul, there is nothing like the peace and the beauty of being underwater. While I like to gather scallops and muscles I am not an enthusiastic hunter, I like to take my time and enjoy the scenery and sea life. On top of my favourite list is the octopus. These intelligent creatures are truly captivating and I have been very lucky to see a few while diving locally. They can be quite curious and interactive but like any wild creature this can have to potential to turn dangerous so always remember to look and not touch.
Scallop season is going well with good reports about numbers and the quality of these tasty morsels.
If you are on, in or under the water have fun and remember to be safe.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
