Dive Trips

Filter

          We run multiple dive trips throughout the year, from local day boat trips in the Wellington area, all the way up to multi day expeditions to other areas of New Zealand and overseas.

          The type of trip changes depending on the destination, but can include wreck diving, cray and spearfishing hunts, shark diving, whale watching/swimming/diving, photography diving, shore dives, boat dives, liveaboards, resort diving and much much more.

          Locally we run regular boat trips for courses, wreck dives on the F69, and hunt diving.

          Within New Zealand we run trips every year to Northland (Bay of Islands and Poor Knights) and Fiordland.

          Previous overseas destinations have included Fiji, Tonga, the Galapagos Islands, and will mostly be scheduled over our winter months to give divers a break from cold water diving.

          DIVE BOAT CHARTER

          We are the only dive shop in Wellington running our own charter boat. We run charters most weekends and there is no better way to discover some of Wellington’s best diving, whether its a wreck dive, catching a crayfish or sightseeing.


          Our charter boat “Southern Comfort” is a 7.5 metre pontoon. Surveyed for ten divers and powered by twin 150 horse power outboards, Southern Comfort offers a smooth and dry ride to Wellington’s offshore dive sites. Fitted with the latest electronics and safety equipment, your days diving will be an enjoyable experience. Our skippers are highly experienced and know all the best sites.


          Several of our dive sites are over 18 metres in depth and require more experience, if in doubt please ask our staff if the dives will be suitable. We are required to sight your dive certification card before joining the charter.  Most charters are two dives unless otherwise stated.
          Whether you have your own dive gear, or want to use ours, Wellington's best diving waits for you!

          NORTHLAND

          A few times a year Dive Wellington runs a trip to Northland for several days of shore based diving in the Bay of Islands, and liveaboard diving at the Poor Knights. With world renowned marine life and dive sites this trip really has it all, including the wreck F421 - Canterbury, sister ship to Wellingtons own F69 wreck.

          We stay with Northland Dive (click here to see the lodge, boats, dive sites etc). Our hosts Shane and Julia have been running Northland Dive since 2000 and have built a truly unique diving operation.

          There are 2 dives per day for shore based days and up to 4 dives per day on the liveaboard.

          Trip includes accommodation, all meals from dinner upon arrival through to breakfast upon departure. Nitrox and equipment rental are available for an additional cost.

          You make your own travel arrangements to Northland Dive, however, we can transport your dive gear to save you luggage costs. Dive Wellington can also offer a limited shuttle to and from Auckland airport.

          Please note: Flights are NOT included. You need to be a minimum of Advanced Open Water to do this trip.

          The Wreck of the F69 Frigate Wellington

          HMNZS Wellington was a Leander class frigate of the Royal Navy and the Royal New Zealand Navy. Originally commissioned in 1969 for the Navy as HMS Bacchante, she joined the RNZN in 1982. She was decommissioned in 1999.

          13th November 2005 the vessel was scuttled to create an artificial marine reef and a world class recreational dive site.

          The F69 Wellington lies in 21 meters of water, approximately 400m off the coast of Island Bay, just a 5 minute boat ride from Dive Wellington. She has broken into three pieces but remains a popular dive site within the marine reserve and plenty to see.
