Hi Namkyung, Thanks for coming diving. It can be a bit hard with language barriers, but the good thing is underwater we all speak the same language! :-)

Awesome wreck dive
The HMSNZ Canterbury was an amazing experience. I am an adventure diver and my boyfriend is a dive instructor and we both loved the dive. The reef dive was also a great experience. Great day trip for all levels of experience.

Chuuurrr
Best wreck Ive done in ages. great viz and a massive boat to explore!! The crew were all friendly and professional. Stu was a great guide. Second dive at key hole was a bit boring prob due to our DM guide not being too experienced in that particular dive site, but as long as I was wet it ddnt matter :-) Highly recommened these guys for any diving.
From Canterbury Wreck & Reef Dive
Hi Alana, Thanks for coming out with us! We hope to see you back again soon for some more great diving. Craig and the team.

Amazing again!
We booked a trip with Paihia Dive for a second time and there are no regrets. Amazing people, we had so much fun. Wreck penetration was exciting and we really enjoyed our day. Thanks Craig and Stu for having us on your boat. Dana and Michal
