Dive! Tutukaka is New Zealand's premier full-service dive charter operator, servicing the Poor Knights Islands; "the best-sub-tropical-diving in the world".

An icon on Northland's horizon and 23 km off the north-east coast of New Zealand, the Poor Knights Islands are washed by a warm current that sweeps down from the Coral Sea. Water temperatures are warmer, visibility is clearer, and the complex underwater landscape results in a unique environment. Subtropical and temperate marine life co-exists with extraordinary diversity, beauty and density. Jacques Cousteau rated the islands in the top ten dive sites ever, and he knew what he was talking about.

Over 125 species of fish, soft corals, encrusting sponges, vibrant anemones and ecklonia kelp forests; hundreds of mating sting rays, gorgonian fans, sandy bottoms and wall drop offs, a day spent at the Poor Knights is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Our friendly team will tailor the day to suit you; you won't be out of your depth, and neither will you be frustrated. With purpose-built dive boats that take you to a site that matches your ability, we help you enjoy your dives. By 8.45 you will be at sea with our professional and friendly crew, who will sit down and have an individual chat with you and find you a buddy if you don't already have one; small groups and a free guiding service ensure personal attention.

Two different dive sites, a tour of the World's largest sea cave during your surface interval, the chance to snorkel and kayak, relax and enjoy your day with free coffee, hot soup and hot chocolate, and enjoy the delicious lunch we can arrange for you.

Non-diving partners are welcome, sightseeing, snorkeling, kayaking trips also offered.

With a dramatic landscape, passionate people and the stories that entwine the two, Dive! Tutukaka delivers a total experience.
