Scuba diving vacations - What makes New Zealand the place to go..

Apart from the fabulous diving, there are so many more reasons to visit New Zealand.

The country is made up of approximately 4 million people, and one quarter of the population is located in the city of Auckland.  The country itself is around the size of England, so compared with many parts of the world, we are relatively under-populated.

New Zealanders are a nation of people who love the outdoors, and love sport.  The most popular sports include rugby, cricket, sailing, rugby league, and motor sport.

New Zealand is known for more than it's spectacular scuba diving vacations and to many New Zealand is known as the adventure capital of the world, with just about every adventure travel activity you can think of from bungy jumping, to adventure racing, to river jet boat rides.

New Zealand is also known for its friendly people and it's relative safety for most travellers.  You will find most locals eager to help, and share our magnificent country with you.
