When?

We meet at the beach on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9:45am, and Thursday evenings at 5:45pm.
Other local dives are run on special occasions, often with a BBQ at the beach, New Years, ANZAC Day, Matariki… and will be posted on our Facebook pages.

Our club dives are always dependent on Wellington’s weather conditions and the number of divers, so make sure you get in touch with us a few days prior if you’re planning on joining!

Where?

Good question. We have a wide variety of dive sites available along the South Coast, out west or in Wellington Harbour but we won’t make the call until shortly before we head to the dive site, just to ensure that we pick the perfect site for whatever the weather is doing.  We expect the dive site to be approximately a 45 minute drive from the shop.

On weekends you can call the shop just after 9am, or on Thursday afternoons around 4pm, and we will let you know where we’ve decided to go.

How?

If you’re planning on coming, let us know in advance. Ideally you’d be in touch with us with your gear requirements the day before the dive is scheduled, to give us time to load your gear in the van. Once you’ve called us and gotten the dive site, come and meet us out there. If it’s your first time, we’ll have you fill out a registration form.

We’ll get everybody into buddy pairs, give a site briefing, and may also have a staff member available to guide you on the dive. Our experienced club divers are always keen to show new divers around but if you want a Divemaster or Instructor with you please book ahead.
If you are joining us over the weekend, you can decide whether you want to do one or two dives.
