Diving New Zealand - General information on scuba diving vacations in New Zealand.

New Zealand diving offers conditions not found anywhere else in the world, with fish-life very much different from anything found in the warmer climates of the world.

Summer is by far the best time to dive New Zealand waters, given the much warmer conditions, and a proliferation of fish-life.

One of the most well known and significant New Zealand diving sites is the Poor Knight Islands.  These Islands are located off the east coast of the north island, slightly to the north of Tutukaka.  The area is known world-wide for it's natural underwater beauty, and many documentaries have been shot at this location.

The Poor Knights also offers two very good wreck dives - including the Tui, which was a New Zealand navel vessel which was scuttled, and now serves as a made-made reef for the fish.

Tutukaka also offers some fabulous facilities, from world class restaurants and accommodation, to game fishing charters.

Diving New Zealand is an unforgettable experience, and something every budding diver must experience.
