Snorkelling Leigh

Come and dive the wonderful Leigh coast. Our half day dive trips are an awesome way to explore the areas not reachable by shore diving. If you are confident and have a sense of adventure join our trip for an epic adventure. The unguided trips are great for those who have more experience and are happy to navigate their own dive.

You will meet at our Dive Center - 142a Pakiri Road, 0947 Leigh. We will get you suited up and into your gear, then head down to the boat ramp and begin our journey. The Leigh coast has a beautiful, rugged coastline with cascading cliffs and hidden coves. The Ocean is full of life, and you'll get to explore it with some incredibly friendly fish. Snapper, blue Maomao, Red Moki, Goatfish, John Dory, and schooling fish, such as Parore, Kahawai, Kingfish, Sweep, Silver drummers, and Trevally. To name but a few!! We have some huge crayfish hiding down in the reserves as well as Octopuses, Sting Rays, Eagle Ray. Sometimes we even get both dolphins or Orcas popping in to say hello! 

On our Way to the dive site, you get to zoom around in our black Rib, looking at some of the best Kiwi Nature! See our white beaching, native bush and rocky cliffs from while racing through our blue Moana.  

We have access to some of New Zealand's best coastal diving and some incredible dive sites for all levels of divers.

This package includes:

• 1 Boat Dive. We will board our dive boat Ocean Tales and head out to the dive site.
• Skipper. The skipper will brief you on the dive site giving recommendations and for navigation and points of interest.
  
• High quality gear hire. Should you choose to hire any of our gear, you can do so knowing we have high quality,
  trusted equipment that is thoroughly washed after each use and well maintained. We have a range of
  wetsuits (7.5mm or 3mm) plus vests and hoods, mask, snorkel, fins (with
  booties), BCD, regulator, and the tanks for the best dive experience.

Please note that this Dive does not come with an instructor or Guide, and you have to be confident enough to plan and execute the dive without much assistance. Site Briefing will be completed prior to the dive.

Night Diving is the activity for those who want to experience the ocean in a whole new light - it will be a night to remember! You will see the ocean transform and heaps of species not seen during the day. We will show you the beauty our ocean offers at night, snorkeling with the fish under a star-filled sky, watch the ocean sparkle with bio-luminescence and show them how the marine life changes at night. You´ll get to see big eyes coming out, crayfish wander on the sand, Stingrays being active, and see how a lot of our fish put on "pajamas". This is an activity few get to do.

Practical information:

• We meet at sunset (time will depend on when the sun is setting).
• We provide torches for everyone.
• Everyone will also get glow sticks (so your instructor can easily see you).
• Bring towels and a warm change of clothes.
• Please allow 3 hours for the activity.

• All Gear is included. You´ll get a wetsuit suitable for the water temperature(7 mm, 5 mm or 3 mm), mask, snorkel, fins (with booties), BCD, regulator, torches, glow stick and the tank required for the dive.
