Sites Visited:

We have 3 launch sites. One at Avatiu at the main Harbour on the north, one at Avana Passage/Ngatangiia Habour on the east, and the other is a beach launch close to The Dive Centre at Rutaki Passage on the south - brilliant dive sites This choice means you have short boat trips to your dive site. It also means we take advantage of over 30 dive sites around the island and avoid the rough sea conditions on the windward side.

Conditions can change overnight here so we choose the best site on the day with customers interests and experience in mind. Sometimes we have a choice of the whole island. Generally the summer months brings more northerlies which means we do more diving on the south November to March for top diving in calmer conditions. We very rarely have to cancel due to the option of 3 launch spots, however if conditions are unsafe or unfavourable to dive we will let you know.
