Dave (the owner) has many years in the SCUBA industry as both a captain and shop manager working for other shops in New Zealand and it is very obvious... More

Reviewed February 11, 2012

I did an Open Water PADI Course for beginners. On the first day you go into a swimming pool to do your confined water dive. Days three and four take you into the open water in the Bay of Islands. The instructors were super-friendly, patient and explained everything you wanted to know and more. It didn't feel like I was... More

“Great Dive Organisation- safe, helpful and fun!”

Reviewed February 7, 2012

I hadn't dived for 3 years, so I was feeling a bit apprehensive about getting back underwater. My lovely wife is a much more experienced and regular diver than I, and was keen to dive out at the Cavalli Islands and on the wreck of the Rainbow Warrior. So we went together, she for the advanced diving, and I for... More

Dave & Sue were so friendly and welcoming. Their dive centre is professionally run and the kit is of a high standard. Having recently dived on a large live-aboard, going with Dive North was a refreshing experience as it was a small family business. The dives could be tailored to my skills and wishes, which maximised underwater time and my... More
