The Bay of Islands is a subtropical meeting point where tropical visitors like Lord Howe coralfish mix with giant stingrays, morays and kelp forests on volcanic reefs. Paihia Dive has been diving here since 1978. Any certified diver is welcome, solo bookings are fine, and all your scuba gear is included, so you can just turn up and dive.
