Rainbow Warrior Dive Day...We start the dive day at 7:45am at our dive shop on Williams rd. Weorganizeequipment and paper work, and load our mini bus and trailer for a 8:30am departure. We drive 45 minutes north to Matauri Bay were we launch our 7.5m inflatable boat from the beach. Once at Matauri Bay we set up scuba gear, putwet suits on,and do the safetybriefing. Launching the boat is lots of fun from the beach and makes it a very short boat ride of 8 minutes to the wreck of the Rainbow Warrior.After the wreck dive we head to one of the beautiful beaches on the Cavalli Islands for some lunch/snorkeling, and if we have any reef/DSD divers on board they do their first dive.After lunch we then head to one of the many great reef dive sites in the Cavalli Islands. This is normally an 18m or less diveexploring the volcanic reef areas. We have plenty of swim throughs, tunnels and caves, so if you are keen on this let us know!Once all the diving is done we head back to Matauri Bay, arriving at about 2:30pm and back to Paihia around 4:00pm. Arrival at Paihia can vary depending on how busy the boat is and if customers require to be back for a bus. If you are catching a bus in the afternoon, please let us know!Please Bring...Please bring your swimsuit, towel, sun block, camera, and something warm to wear after diving. You are welcome to bring your own lunch, or we are happy to provide a packed lunch for $12.00. Just let us know if you would like the meat orvegetarianoption.Note: The Rainbow Warrior lies in water deeper than 18m/60ft. As such, anyOpen Water diverswho wish to dive the wreck must do so in conjunction with a PADI Deep Adventure Dive (which will contribute to their Advanced Open Water certification).
