Our Dive Charter Services
Our crew will provide any necessary assistance during your day. We take responsibility for getting you to the dive site and return to Whitianga however, your safety while you are in the water is your responsibility as we do not dive, do not have oxygen available and are not trained to treat bends or other dive related issues that may arise. Obviously your safety is our prime concern so you need to be confident and experienced in the water.
We do not offer hire equipment but we can put you in touch with a company that does.
