What is considered the top 5 to 10 dive sites in the North Island of New Zealand for newly qualified divers that can't go below 20m? Most of the popular sites seem to be deeper than than this.
We are coming out to New Zealand from Scotland for our honeymoon in April 2016. We just passed our basic diving qualification in September so are limited to 20 meters, and don't have much experience (probably at most 20 dives by then). We would like to get a variety of dives, including coral reefs and going around wrecks.
We are thinking of doing about 6 days of diving during our 20 days there. Our plan the rest of the time is to chill out and do a drive/camper van tour of the island.
We would also be interested in recommendations on dive companies that would give us enough support and guidance without charging the earth.
Any other thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. :thumbs-up
Many Thanks
