So, I will be going to New Zealand by cruise ship. One day stops at Dunedin(dec.27), Akaroa(dec.28), Wellington(dec.29) and Picton(dec.30). What are my chances of hooking up with a charter or dive shop for a charter or some good shore diving? I have not had any response from emailing dive shops in Wellington. Anything that is a "can't miss"???. I am qualified for about anything, but don't want to take a lot of equipment,so will have to rent the heavy stuff.

Thanks, Jeff
 
Booked Milford Sound, organising Poor Knights , Kaikoura and Marlbourough Sounds as well. I heard about a cave dive on the North island that was spectacular??

Thanks

Poor Knights and Milford Sounds are on my bucket list, whilst in South Island go to Queenstown such a great place for
Adrenalin junkies so much to do there
 
I have emailed them. Have not heard back. Supposed to be docked 8am to 6pm, not sure if I could get there in time to make the boat as their schedule says leaves at 8.

Go dive marlborough in picton can do a day trip -from small dinghy theres a small wreck called the koi and just near by is a small fish farm
 
I will check dive marlborough out as well. Thanks.
 
Thanks everyone. Looks like I will join the group at Dive HQ Wellington...
 
Nope. Can't make the schedule. Going with a different group to the F69. Clair seemed nice at Dive HQ, sorry I won't meet her.

Enjoy the F69 - I hope you get good weather. The Wellington south coast 'on a good day' is spectacular.. in bad weather it's completely undiveable!
I was going to add, Akaroa diving = poor vis... better things to see above the water! (I guess the Hector's Dolphins are not 'above water', but are a 'non-diving' activity.
