GREAT BARRIER DIVE CHARTER

Great Barrier Island is a rich eco-system fed by the East Auckland current that travels through the famous Poor Knights and Mokohinau Islands. The climate is sub-tropical providing temperate waters and with its colourful volcanic history, there is plenty to explore underwater.

Heading out from Omaha marina just 45min north of Auckland, the Great Barrier Island is 1 hour 45min away. Bring food and water. You can expect to make up to 2 dives a day depending on the depth and duration of you dives. Dive gear can be provided if required.

All divers are required to be certified.

Leaving at approximately 8:30am on the first morning, Midnight Diver is a RHB vessel and purpose built for diving &  will head out to the first of dive sites to be there by 11am. Times may vary depending on the preferred activity and location.

Lunch will be on-board in an exciting bay.

The second dive is usually at a different dive spot and can include hunting if requested.

The return to Omaha is normally at 5pm and certainly before dusk.
