Morning Check In
A summer morning here at Dive! Tutukaka Headquarters...we are very streamlined! The whole process takes about 15 minutes from start to stop, and we can gear up about 50 divers in 45 minutes. Still leaves time for a coffee!
Thanks to Dave Abbott for the footage!

A great book to read! Taonga.
A book about diving, charter boat skippers, treasure, poachers, baddies, and it is all based in Tutukaka, and the Poor Knights. Thoroughly recommended, and honestly, it sounds so very very very real!
