Little Barrier Dive Charter

Come and enjoy a day diving in the beautiful water around Little Barrier / Te Hauturu-o-Toi with New Zealand Diving. The rocky reefs around Little Barrier have abundant fish and invertebrate life among the kelp forests. The holes and cracks house many crayfish, perhaps the overflow from Tawharanui Marine Park and Goat Island Marine Reserve on the adjacent coast. Many large red moki often shared their holes or swam through the weed above them. Their rarer cousins, the painted moki, are also found there. Add the swarms of demoiselle and blue maomao schools over the sponge gardens and Little Barrier offers some of the best diving close to Auckland. It takes us about an hour to get to the island, and on the way we might even see dolphins & whales!

You can SAVE money if you have your own gear, which you can purchase directly from our online store as we have some GREAT offers. If you prefer you can come to the shop and get some professional advice so we can help set you up for the future. Alternatively, contact us directly if you already have your own gear, or you just need tanks and weights for the dive.
