A dive company owner has described a group apparently fishing inside a marine reserve as a "blatant and reckless raiding party".

Video posted on social media appears to show the men at the Poor Knights islands off the Tūtūkākā Coast in Northland.

The area has been protected for decades and is known as one of the world's best dive spots.
 

A series of expletive-laden videos were uploaded as stories on Instagram.

"You fullas caught any f**king fish yet or what?" said the man filming.

"Ah, got a small feed, got a few in there and then just doing a bit of a clean up in here," said another fisher.

"A little bit of f**king marine life. Stop picking on the marine life aye. F**k, leave them alone."
