Who doesn’t love a good road trip – especially when you are headed north to the world famous dive site – the Poor Knights! Four of us cruised up to Taupo to dive Accacia Bay, nice and warm, with 18 degrees down at 20m. The next day we headed to Goat Island, with the rest […]

Wrecks & Reefs Trip
After several failed attempts to head north this year we took advantage of direct flights to Kerikeri for a weekend of diving in the Bay of Islands. Craig from Paihia Dive collected us from the airport and after a quick game of Tetris with 8 divers and 16+ bags we were off to Paihia where […]

Club Trip – Palau 2019
I was excited to finally heading back to Palau! Where’s that you ask? Micronesia is the answer but perhaps not so helpful. Palau consists of over 300 islands surrounded by a fringing reef making it an ideal dive destination. Flying to Palau involves flying north to Taiwan and then a 4 hour flight south again […]
Diving into Darkness
Hot chocolate by torch light, with just a hint of sea water – that’s what night diving is all about! Winter is on its way and with it so are night dives. I have always found night dives to be the most incredible way to spend time underwater. Rather than being dark and gloomy like […]

With a week to go the divers are keenly packing and struggling to keep their luggage within the allowances. With a day to go we are told that our internal flight has been cancelled – oh no! We had two options stay at home or go on an adventure. We chose the adventure of course. So […]
