New Zealand diving’s best kept secret
The Bay of Plenty coastline is home to many
untapped and unexplored dives sites and offers
a diving wonderland catering for hunter gathers,
wreck enthusiasts and beautiful scenic dives.
It is home to New Zealand’s most recent ship
wreck; the cargo ship MV Rena ran aground on the
Astroblabe reef on 5 October 2011. The remains of
the wreck now make a great dive site with an interesting
back story.
North West of Motiti island is a Dive Zone favourite,
Okaparu reef, which is home to an impressive
5 acres of rocky gardens, swim throughs, schools
of snapper and kingfish and many crayfish can be
spotted amongst the crevices. We are pretty sure
if Jaques Costeau had made it as far as the Bay of
Plenty he would of named this site in his list of the
worlds top sites!
The Jewel in our crown is Mayor Island ( Tuhua )
sitting 20 nautical miles of the coast, Mayor island
is home to the Bay of Plenty’s only Marine reserve,
with clear water, kelp forests, resident eels, and
plenty of sheltered bays a dive trip out to Mayor
Island will not disappoint.
Dive Zone Tauranga run mid week and weekend
dive trips on our comfortable 12 meter dive vessel
Ruku Moana.
