A friend and I are going to Great Barrier Island in a few weeks, but I have never dived there. My friend is a fairly new diver with no experience diving in cold water since getting certified on a nice tropical Pacific island (talk about lucky). Does anyone know a good dive centre there? And is the diving fairly easy for new divers? I know, I'm an instructor and I can look after her, but I'm not familiar with the area myself and wouldn't be comfortable with this.
Secondly, I went up to Tutukaka a few weeks ago and did a dive with Dive Tutukaka! on Poor Knights and I just wanted to report back that it was amazing. The dive centre is very modern, organized, and professional. We had a fantastic guide, Will, who really knew his stuff. The rest of the crew were very pleasant and I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. Of course, since I only live a few hours away, I might go back and try other companies just to check out what others offer.
Cheers for any tips I get back.
