This new Top Dive Sites book from Darryl and Gillian has almost 250 pictures plus 150 fish & invertebrate identification pictures. The hope is that it will stimulate and enthuse more local & tourist divers into exploring New Zealand's fabulous underwater world.
Darryl and Gillian and well known for both their colourful images and their scientific descriptions.
“We have visited and documented forty of the very best of New Zealand’s accessible dive sites. Each dive site is shown in full colour wide angle views—to give you an excellent feel for the whole site—and close-up photographs that document the detail and animals you might find there.
Each chapter (The Poor Knights, Northland, The Hauraki Gulf, Bay of Plenty & East Coast, Cook Straight, South Island & Stewart Island and Fordland) has an overview of the area; each dive site a fact box and description; there is a photographic guide to common marine species (88 fish, 57 invertebrates and 6 types of algae). Interesting geological, historical and animal facts are scattered throughout the book, completing the picture.
We take you diving beneath an active volcano; in the semi-darkness of Fiordland’s calm waterways; amongst dense schools of fish; with playful fur seals and amongst the spectacular archways of New Zealand’s most famous marine reserve—The Poor Knights Islands.
A book to guide you in choosing the best dive locations for yourself , or to remind you of your own New Zealand diving experience.”
In store now, put it on your Christmas list!
We love what he does with our favourite sites!

Sarah LochnerHello there!
I did 2 dives with you including a refresher course on January 5. My dive guide was Canadian Sean. I was a problem child - swam to the wrong boat, had problems with my ears equalizing, had problems with my buoyancy, and I got a little stressed out. In the face of all this, Sean was great - he was patient and determined for me to have a good experience. On the second dive, he literally held my hand the whole time, which helped control my buoyancy and allowed me to relax. Consequently, I was able to slow my oxygen use and enjoy my dive. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and fun, but because Sean went above and beyond, I really wanted you to know that he deserves some credit. I will recommend your dive company to friends and will be back.
