trips are all run by the Down Under Dive Club a club associated with Orakei

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.

ISLANDS. Summer is here and its time to get wet. Well

and you are allowed to take a cray or two if thats your thing. Youll

WEEKEND FEBRUARY 2nd to 6th. Leaving Thursday 2nd evening 8pm
(or earlier if possible), returning Monday afternoon. A four-day trip
from Tairua on the Taranui. We will head to the MERCURY
ISLANDS then up to GREAT BARRIER. Dont forget youll
need to take Friday off work. The price will be around $870, which includes
food, and air fills. Youll need a sleeping bag and two tanks. Diving
at The Barrier has something for everyone, lots of pretty
stuff, lots of crays and two wrecks that are well worth a scavenge
and the best thing is they both in shallow water. Also worth a mention
for newer divers is that as it 4 days you can dive as much or little as
you want. If people can get away early on Thursday we can leave earlier.
