New Zealand Diving Warkworth Scuba Diving

Goat Island or Te Hāwere-a-Maki is a tiny island (approximately 1 hectare or 2.5 acres) in New Zealand located close to the North Island coast, north of Auckland, northeast of Warkworth, and directly west of Little Barrier Island. Be surrounded by huge snappers, red moki lively kelp forests and try to spot as many nudibranchs and eagle rays as you can!

Just south of Leigh you can find Matheson Bay . This is one of our most popular and easily accessible shore dives. We usually find heaps of octopus, nudibranch, snapper, seahares, stingrays, eagle rays and more interesting critters at this spot!
Flat Rock is located on the south west side of Kawau Island. The impressive underwater topography makes it one of the best dive sites in the area. Think about deep ridges, healthy kelp forests, groups of rays and even bronze whaler sharks! This dive site is suitable for open water divers and advanced divers. Are you open water certified, and do you want to be able to dive deeper? Contact us after booking to add on your deep diver specialty!

Kawau Island has many more amazing dives to offer, such as Trade Me Reef and the Rewa wreck, suitable for open water divers who like to have a shallow and relaxed experience.

Set on a remote peninsula, Tāwharanui Regional Park boasts some of the Auckland region’s most beautiful white sand beaches. See sting rays, crays & large snapper fish. These protected areas are safe & free from strong currents & suitable for all abilities.
