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.
