We've Gone Wreck Crazy !!
Rainbow Warrior
On Friday 29th January we headed up to Matauri Bay for a weekend of diving the Rainbow Warrior and the Cavalli Islands. We managed 6 dives over 2 days and had a fabulous time - 3 dives on the Rainbow Warrior and 3 dives around the Cavilli Islands.

HMNZS Waikato
On 13 and 14 February we took 18 divers up to Tutukaka to dive the HMNZS Waikato. She is sitting at a depth of 30m so our divers were either already qualified advanced divers or doing their advanced course. Even if you're not really into wrecks, the marine life found around the huge wreck of the Waikato is truelly amazing. The ship has been down for nearly 10 years so she is covered in anenomes and teeming with a large array of marine life. As Ken Van Der Goes descibed it "it's the best dive I've ever done!"

HMNZS Canterbury
With so much demand for wreck diving we've decided to dive HMNZS Canterbury on 14 March. Located in Deep Water Cove in the Bay of Islands, she was sunk over 2 years ago after being decomissioned due to age.
Night Dive:
We had our first night dive in February and what fun it was - lots of pretty bioluminescence, crays out and about, fish sleeping, fish hunting... It was so popular that the next few we scheduled all filled up in a day. So we scheduled some more - give us a ring now to book your place.

Dive Courses:
With all the great weather we've been having over Summer, there is been no better time to learn to dive. The water temperatures are up to 23 degrees at the moment!!
