New Zealand : Poor Knights

First post here, so hi!

My girlfriend and I are going to NZ in Feb / March and intend to have a dive in the Whangarei / Poor Knights area while we're there (we can only fit a single day in).

Just wondering if anyone could recomend any dive operators? I've read about Dive Tutukaka and they seem efficient, but any input on some of the smaller operators would be good.

many thanks

Matt

Hi Matt,

I dived there with my girlfriend (now wife!) and they were an excellent outfit. We did 2 great dives with Dive Tutakaka (we dived in November and it was 13 degrees I think). Dives were great and would love to go back.

John

Hi Matt,

There are several posts around about diving the Poor Knights, a few of them by me about when I lived just over the hill!

Try popping Poor Knights in the search box and I'm sure plenty helpful will come up. If you are still stuck come back to me.

Mary

As Mary said, there are plenty of posts around.

I have dived with Poor Knights Divers, Poor Knights Islands, dive charters, diving, wreck diving, Tui, Waikato, dive equipment hire, Tutukaka, Northland, Whangarei and they are a nice small operator (10 or so max) with a good dive boat and the captain and crew know the area well.

Thanks for the advice everyone - I've had a dig on here and found a few possibles. I'm liking the look of 'Poor Knights Divers' as above - will drop them an e-mail.

cheers

Matt
