Discover the underwater world of New Zealand’s best dive locations

A diverse diving paradise is located 23 kilometres off the coast of Tutukaka. Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve is over 11 million years old and is listed as a World Heritage Site. Discover the underwater world and the unique flora and fauna flourishing on the islands.

Check-in at the dive centre, where your dive gear will be fitted and your tanks filled before hopping on board the boat. Your qualified diving instructor will provide a comprehensive safety briefing and explain the plan for the day ahead.

Arriving at the Poor Knights Islands, the perfect dive location will be found depending on the swell, wind direction, experience and personal preferences. It is also possible to kayak and snorkel. Refuel your energy with lunch, explore the special locations around the island and dive at a second location in the afternoon.
