The reef circle of Moti Island has a depth of 5 to 18 meters, usually with good visibility.
Overnight in Fangamata

Overnight in Fangamata
Day 4 - Diving with SHARKS!!!
On the peaks of underwater mountains. Overnight in Fangamata.
Day 5 - 2 dives on the Aldermanic Islands
The purity of the water is from 15 to 30 meters, visibility is the same almost all year round. Diving near these islands will fascinate you with underwater rock formations, caves, and reefs that drop off to a depth of 10 to 80+ meters. The Aldermen Islands are a group of 19 islands located 12 miles from Tairua and 17 miles from Fangamata. The islands are protected areas and access to them is only by pass.
Visibility in the area of Aldermen is usually about 20 meters, after the end of summer visibility increases slightly. In the area of the islands, shoals of Trevally and Kahavi are constantly observed with blue maomao permanently residing there. Golden perches (snappers) can be observed in many places. Recently, large royal fish began to appear there. Many people consider Aldermen to be the best diving destination in New Zealand, and there is an explanation for this.
Diving sites with different depths can be found around these islands, which means that divers with different backgrounds and skills can dive here. On the other hand, cliffs from 10 to 80+ meters, caves and underwater peaks make this place interesting to explore, where you can see"all in one".
Overnight in Phitiang
Day 6 - 2 Mercury Island Dives
The Mercury Group of seven islands is located 30 kilometers from the Coromandel Peninsula. The largest one, the Great Mercury or Ahuahu, is privately owned.

Overnight in Phangaparapara
Day 7 - 2 dives at the Great Barrier Island
Despite its proximity to Auckland, the island is as far away as the world. It is characterized by a rugged rocky coastline and depth. The shallow bays of the coastline make this island a paradise for divers. Scallops, lobsters, and an abundance of sea bass (snapper) are just the beginning... The island has its own fjords, cormorant colonies, and much more that cannot be forgotten! The modern online casino Reels casino offers access to the best slots and live games with real dealers.
