On the way out to the dive site we cruise through the islands and often see Dolphins, Penguins, Seals and marine bird life. It takesapproximately 30 minutes onSentinelto get to Deep Water Cove. First up is normally the wreck dive, While they are diving we set up gear and brief up for the Discover Scuba Dive. We do some basic skills to get you comfortable with breathing underwater, and then we descend to a maximum depth of 12 metres. Once you are comfortable we take you for a tour of the underwater marine life.After lunch we then head to one of the many great reef dive sites in the Bay of Islands. Deep Water Cove is a marine reserve, so the marine life in this area is incredible. There is also the chance for more snorkeling at the second site and if time allows a second dive for the Discover Scuba Divers (this carries an extra charge).Once all the diving is done we cruise back though the islands to Paihia, arriving at the wharf around 3:30pm.
