@MsWhatsurProblem You mean my comment about China, Japan, and Korea? It was in reply to someone else, he said "mostly eaten by chinese around the world.. Japanese or Korean" as if they were all the same country. Other than that I don't remember, it was 2 years ago.

Great video on three sides: poachers, irresponsible divers and the great ocean we are so lucky to have and should respect. Unfortunately, where there is money, just like with drugs, one goes another one comes in.

1:59 paramedic straddling the victim

If a paramedic student did that in the first week of class they would be reprimanded.

If they did that on the final exam it would be an INSTANT FAIL!

For a working professional paramedic to do that in the field (with no good excuse) is wrong and sad. Back to remedial training for that bozo!!!

kiwis eat them like you eat chicken :-) we only allow 10 ea per day, and size is around 5 not 7 like the U.S.

try cooking them in cream yum...

A very good piece on Abalone diving. It presents all the good and possible bad points of the pass time. I would like to feature this video on my site if its ok. Also my advice is to dive on flat days and pick a safe spot to enter and exit the water. Also take a dive buddy. This should keep you out of trouble.

for those of you who say that the police just let the meat rot, they don't. it is donated to a food bank with just a hide or shell used for evidence
