Discover Scuba Dive

Discover Scuba Day...

We start the dive day at 7:45am at our dive shop on Williams rd. We organize equipment and paper work, and then load the boat on Paihia wharf for a 8:30am departure. On the way out to the dive site we cruise through the islands and often see Dolphins, Penguins, Seals and marine bird life. It takes approximately 40 minutes on Sentinel to get to Deep Water Cove. First up is normally the wreck dive, while they are diving we set up gear and brief up for the Discover Scuba Dive Then it’s our turn! We move to a shallow reef site, gear up and enter the water. We do some basic skills to get you comfortable with breathing underwater, and then we descend to a maximum depth of 12 metres. Once you are comfortable we take you for a tour of the underwater marine life. After the dive we have time for some lunch, and then we then head to another of the many great reef dive sites in the Bay of Islands. This is a chance to do some snorkelling or relax on the boat. Or if you loved your first dive you could dive again, this costs an extra $75.00. Once all the diving is done we cruise back though the islands to Paihia, arriving at the wharf around 3:30pm.
