The Hammerhead Shark Experience Dive Charter

Dive with juvenile Hammerhead Sharks, as they migrate through our waters.

Right on Auckland’s doorstep lies the Hauraki Gulf, known throughout the world as a boating paradise. For many divers, this area has a certain mystique. Many have heard of it, but few seem to know where it is or have actually dived it. Known for its Hammerhead experience, huge crayfish, and huge kingfish, this dive experience is not to be missed. Horn Rock is actually a large area of rough ground between Little Barrier and Great Barrier. Only one small rock breaks the surface; the rest of the site lies between 10 and 20 meters, dropping off the edges to over 40 meters.

New Zealand Diving run charters throughout January to March to offer divers the opportunity to encounter Hammerheads. Divers are recommended to book early as spaces are limited.

Included in the price is all rental equipment and 2 dives from our boat.

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. 

To join one of our charters, you must have dived within the last 12 months – contact us if you need a refresher course.

If you would like to learn about sharks, why not sign up for our shark ecology course to understand more about these magnificent creatures. We offer ecology courses for only $60 as an add on to your dive experience. Contact us directly after booking your charter to sign up!

Vessel berthage locations (pick-up/drop-off) points are not included in the cost. If you need transport please ask the Dive Team at your own expense.
