Paihia Dive in the Bay of Islands is the Far North of New Zealand’s best little dive centre and it’s our great pleasure to show you all the underwater wonders of this beautiful part of NZ.
We offer scuba diving trips to the spectacular Rainbow Warrior aboard our fully equipped dive RIB ‘Aka Maru’, which takes only 8 minutes from the shore to reach the dive site.
Whether you want to explore the wonders of the underwater world for the first time or you want to launch an exciting career in the dive industry, we will help you realize those dreams. This is arguably the best diving in New Zealand!
Paihia Dive was present at the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, and have been running dive trips there since 1987. No one has done more dives on this wreck than Craig has.
We dive across more sites in the Bay of Islands than any other diving company in New Zealand. You will have the chance to dive in the most magical and untouched locations in the Bay of Islands!
Whether you want to dive with us in the beautiful Bay of Islands, or in any of the world’s other amazing dive locations, your Open Water certification is the ticket you need. With courses to suit all levels of dive experience Paihia Dive will be able to help you achieve your diving goals.
We stock a wide range of gear to ensure you are fully equipped for all of your diving adventures!
“I was initially not planning on going diving, but then I had the most incredible dives of my live. Diving the ship wreck was such an unbelievable experience, and the reef was also so different from what I had seen before. Great crew and a great diving location that should certainly not be missed!”
