I'm starting to plan my trip to NZ for 2008 (ok, so I like to get things started early and be organised )
I'll be attending a work conference at the end of May (25 - 29). In terms of viz and general conditions am I better off planning my diving for the 3 weeks prior to the conference, or after the conference in June? I'll have a dry suit so temps not an issue.
I've found this website http://www.splash.co.nz/nzdivetrail/ that gives a good start with planning dives and locations...does anyone have any to add to the list? Is there any diving north of the Bay of Islands region? I lived near Whangaroa harbour while on student exchange 10yrs ago (!) and from memory there looks like there could be lots of great places for diving.
Thanks heaps,
Mel.b
