Location description: The Poor Knights Islands were named by Jacques Cousteau as one of the top 10 dive sites in the world. Cousteau would know, and Cousteau was right!
Separated from mainland New Zealand,
the Poor Knights Islands are influenced by a warm current that originates in the Coral Sea, north of Australia. Water temperature is higher, and visibility significantly greater than in nearby coastal waters.
Tropical and subtropical life forms have become established among the diverse and multiple environments formed by the island`s volcanic origins.
Underground caves, tunnels and archways are home to an extraordinary variety seaweeds and dense populations of friendly, colourful fish. Some of wrecks:
Two former Navy ships, purpose sunk for diving excitement, prepared and maintained for easy access penetration diving. When accompanied by a well qualified wreck guide dive master, this is high adventure diving.
HMNZS Tui, formerly a US Navy ship, was designed for hydrological survey and submarine hunting spy work and protected New Zealand`s anti nuclear protest fleet at Mururua. 62 metres long she now lies in 30 metres of water just 2km north of Tutukaka Heads.
HMNZS Waikato, a Leander class frigate, complete with guns and helicopter hanger.113 metres long she now lies in 28 metres of water just 2km south of Tutukaka Heads.
Penetrate the wrecks through purpose cut access and exit point, and explore control rooms, bridges, crew living quarters and engine rooms via established routes.
and many more!
