Really enjoyed my dive trip out to the Rainbow Warrior. Found all the staff to be incredibly friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We were in a campervan and parked overnight at the centre, great value for $10. Great diving, well worth visiting! Free photos from the dive also were a nice touch.Thanks guys! More

The PADI Open Water Course was one thing I wanted to do in New Zealand and I decided to do it with Dive North. The decision was definitely right. I had an awesome time and I can highly recommend Dave as Dive Instructor. We dived at three different sites and I was amazed by the beauty of the underwater world... More

We originally wanted to do the Rainbow Warrior but timing didn't work out and we did the Canterbury instead. We were originally disappointed when we heard this but after doing the dive I can safely say that it was for the best. Great wreck, did some penetration and even entered the bridge. Dave, Oli and Malika did a great job... More

Dave spends time with you which in turn makes you feel more comfortable diving with him. We did the canterbury and a reef dive.

We did 2 dives with Dive North, and it was well worth the money. It is a small operation, so personal attention was top-notch. We dove the Canterbury and did a reef dive. Both were excellent. Very different diving than what you get in the Caribbean. The bonus? Dave and Lee on the boat, and Sue running the office. We... More
