These trips are all run by the Down Under Dive Club a club associated with Orakei Dive Shop. If you wish to have the club newsletter emailed to you each month please click on this link.
Please note: (This is important for overseas's trained divers). You will be required to fill out a medical form prior to going on any of our trips. The form can be found here. As you will only be diving with us rather than training it does not need a doctor to sign it unless you answer yes to some of the medical conditions. If you do answer yes please contact us before booking on a trip. Please be honest. This does not apply to NZ trained divers as it is a requirement to obtain a doctors cert before training.
TRIP LIST
Remember we are out at the Poor Knights an training an awful lot but I don't often list the weekends here. If you are interested then call us and we'll see what we can arrange.
Sorry if the trip list looks a bit thin at the moment but Goat Island dive are taking their boat out of the water for two months an Jim off Taranui is out of action for a few weeks with a dodgy Knee. We're in the process of coming up with a couple more Poor Knights trips.
SATURDAY and SUNDAY JULY 17th and 18th. Two days off Crayzee at the POOR KNIGHTS. We will be coming in on Saturday so you are welcome to book for one or two days. Tank fills cost an extra $8 each for those doing both days (you will need two tanks). Magda will be leading this trip and it will be divers only, no openwater course on board which opens up the weekend to more dive sites. Cost is $100 per day and you can book for one or both and we will be leaving 8:30am each day. As its getting cooler we can arrange accommodation for $30 a night staying at the Tutukaka motor lodge (i.e. sheets and warm stuff).
SUNDAY JULY 25th. Diving ALDERMEN ISLANDS with Jim on the Taranui. Down to two dives a day so we get back home before dark (after dark if you’re driving a heap of s*%t like what I do). The Aldermen Islands are very similar to the Poor Knights with lovely clear water and a large variety of dive sites so we’ll be able to find a site that suits everyone and all experience levels of diving. Leaves 9:00 am from Tairua wharf and costs $120.
SUNDAY
AUGUST 22nd. CASTLE
ROCK
and
somewhere coastal for a cray or two. Somewhere we don’t go too often.
Castle rock is a mega drop-off with huge fish life. The coast around Tairua
is good for cray’s so it’ll be a pretty and productive day we
hope. All are nice easy dives though buoyancy control is handy at Castle
Rock as it goes pretty deep but on a bit of a slope so although the opportunity
is there for deep it is optional. The boat leaves Tairua wharf at 9:00am.and
the trip costs $120
