Eru Puata

Biography

I've been fishing since I was 16. I love life at sea - I wouldn't change it for anything. It's different every day, you never know what's going to happen. You meet people from all walks of life and surprisingly they all get along - that always amuses me.  Since I moved to Sealord I've been working on the Ocean Dawn and we couldn't ask for a better crew - they're all there for the same thing...they want to fill the boat up and get home safe. The company's put me through my deep sea skippers' ticket and part of my training's included Safe Operating Procedures and health and safety - Sealord's really leading the industry in that department.
