Rainbow Warrior Wreck and Reef Dive

• Transport to/from meetup point
• Use of 7.5m inflatable boat
• Access to Rainbow Warrior wreck dive site

We start the dive day at 7:45am at our dive shop on Williams rd. We organize equipment and paperwork, and load our minibus and trailer for a 8:30am departure. We drive 45 minutes north to Matauri Bay were we launch our 7.5m inflatable boat from the beach. Once at Matauri Bay we set up scuba gear, put wet suits on, and do the safety briefing. Launching the boat is lots of fun from the beach and makes it a very short boat ride of 8 minutes to the wreck of the Rainbow Warrior.

After the wreck dive we head to one of the beautiful beaches on the Cavalli Islands for some lunch/snorkelling, and if we have any reef/DSD divers on board they do their first dive.

After lunch we then head to one of the many great reef dive sites in the Cavalli Islands. This is normally an 18m or less dive exploring the volcanic reef areas. We have plenty of swim throughs, tunnels and caves, so if you are keen on this let us know!

Once all the diving is done, we head back to Matauri Bay, arriving at about 2:30pm and back to Paihia around 4:00pm.
