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!

Bruce McKenzie, a charter diving boat owner/skipper operating out of the picturesque harbour of Tutukaka, New Zealand, is on the losing end.
His girlfriend has left him, his business partner has ripped him off and left the business mortally wounded, and the local fisheries officer seems to have a personal grudge against him.
Turning to increasingly illegal, extra-curricular activities to keep his operation afloat, Bruce finds himself inexorably drawn into a spiral of serious crime. Then he makes an amazing discovery beneath the waters of the fabulous Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve that could change everything.
Set against the backdrop of New Zealand’s fascinating and unique Poor Knights Islands, Taonga is the story of a desperate man suddenly presented with the Devil’s Alternative.

Written by Jerry Carpenter, for anyone who has lived or spent time in Tutukaka, particularly over a summer season, this is a great read. It could be anyone you know!
