Upcoming Trip: White Island

1 year ago

by dive mistress in Upcoming Trips

I will be leading a trip to White Island in a couple of weekends with a crew from Global Dive.
The dates for the trip are Friday 11th, Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th June 2010.

Diving White Island

White Island is some 50 kilometres off shore from Whakatane and lies 8km west of the White Island trench which reaches depths of up to 1219 metres. White Island is an active stratovolcano and is one of the most accessible volcanoes in the world.

White Island

This fascinating place is brushed by the warm waters of an offshore current and offers exciting dives from pinnacles with 150 metre drop offs to cruisy reef dives.

Underwater vents are a feature of this volcanic area.

Several archways and extinct fumaroles make the area most interesting.

There are places for 6 divers on this fabulous trip.

The trip cost is $825.00 for the 3 days.

There are still some spaces available on this trip – more information is available on the Global Dive website:

$150.00 is required to secure your space. Get in quick!

Open Water Certification Dives in Lake Pupuke

1 year ago

I’ve had a great time with a couple of my latest Open Water groups – as previous posts have alluded to.
Teaching them was lots of fun …. even though we spent a bit of time in the lovely green Lake Pupuke

And most of them are still causing me trouble – we are still out diving (even though its the middle of winter) and they are completing Advanced Open Water, Specialties and Rescue Diver certifications.

So I have dropped the videos that Johan took while they were completing their skills in the Lake into this post.
For posterity. And to show them how far they have come … and how proud I am of them.
