Did 2 dives on Poor Knights Islands. Dive! Tutukaka one of the most organized and efficient operations I've dived. Check in very well done, gear rental handled quickly and seamlessly. Boat thoroughly equipped, oxygen, rinse tanks for photo bugs. Very good briefings, very thorough interviews of divers to determine experience and buddy-up singles like me. Divers left to selves on time. Great swim throughs in volcanic formations. Rich animal life, clouds of blue MouMou, large eagle and stingrays lolling in sand channels, nudibranches, sponges galore. Kelp meadows for variety, large cod and rockfish. Hot intant soup, coffee, tea, chocolate served on board after dives, hot shower on aft. Long surface interval for lunch, which can be ordered for $NZ 10 and stowed aboard -- sandwich, cookie, fruit. Whales breaching on return, skipper tried to get us in for closer view despite delay in return it caused. Great trip. |
