operating 5 purpose
designed fast dive boats that ensure small groups and personal service from professional crew. Full equipment hire, air fills, everything
you need is provided. Dive! Tutukak is the Poor Knight's only multi-boat, full service dive
operation.
If high adventure is your thing, dive the Twin Wrecks Steel Adventure - the HMNZA Tui, a
hydro-graphic spy ship, or the HMNZS Waikato, a fully armed frigate, that have been purpose sunk to
provide wreck diving adventure, including full penetration for the suitably qualified.
Dive! Tutukaka is a fully endorsed 5 Star PADI facility with an outstanding reputation for quality training. This is the perfect place
to try diving as the offer a great beginners course.
23 km off the north east coast of New Zealand, the Poor Knights Islands are washed by a warm current that sweeps down from the Coral Sea.
Water temperatures are warmer and visibility is clear than anywhere else on the NZ coast. The islands have
volcanic origins that provide
a myriad of spectacular drop-offs, walls, caves, arches and tunnels. This complex underwater landscape results in a unique environment in which
subtropical and temperate marine life co-exist with extraordinary diversity, beauty and density.
A dive at the Poor Knights is a once in a lifetime experience and very different to coral reef diving or diving on the NZ coast. The
Islands are a total Marine Reserve, allowing the fullest proliferation of nature's underwater wonderland. Everything is alive, thriving
and colorful. No matter what your previous diving experience, you will be enthralled.
