Easy shallow dive in a sheltered bay. Lots of rocks around the edges of this bay. The deepest area is the sand line at 18m at the entrance. Go around the southern point to “The Labyrinth“ and find the swim throughs there.

One of the dive sites named after the Legend Mary Carney. Mary’s wall is a beautiful fan covered wall that can be found by swimming away from the main island. It’s quite a short wall but worth looking for. Divers be careful not to blow your bubble up through the fans.

An iconic site for photographers due to the blue glow producing an awesome silhouette shots. The crack is about 60m long and at the open end, is about 15m deep. It is open to the surface the whole length of the crack and approx 10m wide at the opening, narrowing to 3m wide.

A lovely sand patchy shallow area for beginners & snorkelers equipped with El Torito arch, a beautiful shallow archway filled with clever gannet avoiding demoiselles & blue mao mao. Depth 3-12m. Plus a series of 3 pinnacles each with its own interesting features.

Also known as Dutchmans Cove, this is a beautiful little site has plenty going on. On the left the wall gently sloped but knobbly and slowly get deeper out towards the point. On the right you have a shear wall with depth of 18m with a sand gully.

On the other side of Motu Kapiti Island than the Canyon, the steep walls continue but are broken up by shallower reef at the eastern and wester ends. Divers still need to watch their depth.

Typical New Zealand Reefs. Steep drops offs and lots of boulders to look at. Good for beginner as it has shallow parts and is sheltered. Steep drops off go to 40 meters.

A sheer wall covered in kelp and encrusting life that drops to over 40 metres into a narrow sand bottom canyon with over hangs that shelter shy fish and give the dive site an exciting feel to it for the technical divers who can really enjoy the depths.

Mixture of boulder and sandy patches at this consistently shallow site. The depth at the back of the bay is an easy 5-10m. The bay plateaus at around 10-15m for about 500m out from the wall. Around the wall at the back of the bay are a number of cracks and archways to go exploring in. Shark fin cave is beauty!

This arch takes a diver from the western side of the island to the eastern side. Walls outside the arch reach depth of 30m, while the inside of the arch shallows up to just 5m. On the eastern side to the right there is a group of large boulders and a small cave at around 20m.
