Pāua, New Zealand’s black foot abalone, is more than just seafood. To Māori, it’s taonga: a treasure from the god of the sea. And on international markets, it’s sold as a luxury delicacy. Abalone divers can make up to €200,000 a year. But diving for these sea snails isn’t easy – and it’s far from safe. Divers brave cold waters and life-threatening encounters with great white sharks. Would you risk your life for this kind of treasure?

Watch the full documentary “Treasure islands in the Pacific – From the Chatham Islands to Enewetak (2/2)” on the DW Documentary YouTube channel.
