New Zealand

[Mick G]

Anyone got any suggestions for dive sites or boat
operators in New Zealand, particularly in the North?
Mainly interested in day trips, or shore dives

The better half and I are heading over early in the
new year, and thinking about making some bubbles
while we're there, just for a day or two...

Oh, also any recommendations about where to (or not to)
hire gear from would be handy...


Cheers

I am guessing you are talking around or about Auckland? leigh or the Poor
knights www.yukon.co.nz (both north of Auckland) would be a good start.
Sou-eastish of Auckland the coromandal peninisula. Alderman Island
(http://www.tairuadive.co.nz/) , whitianga etc. Or Tauranga, white Island
would be great as well...

http://www.bookadive.co.nz/ would provide a good geographic breakdown... I
have dived mainly in the south (Otago west coast, fiordland, stewart
Island) and Whangarei/poorknights and coromandel if there is anything else
you want to know...
