Goat Island Marine Reserve, just 1 hr north of Auckland offers divers a taste of how our oceans used to be. The marine reserve is the breeding ground for marine life, feeding the Leigh coastline with an abundance of life with great diving opportunity. 


Spend the afternoon snorkeling or diving the famous marine reserve in comfort onboard our dive charter boat. The snorkel and dive are sites inaccessible from the shore therefor the fish life is abundant!

Goat Island has some of the best snorkeling and diving in New Zealand. The Goat Island coastline makes a great dive for all levels. You will be surrounded by big snapper, there are more Crayfish here than anywhere else. Expect to see Blue Cod, Goatfish, Piper, Eagle Rays, Parore, Red Moki and much more on every dive.

Everything is protected, including kina (sea urchins). Remember - Don't feed the fish, they bite!

"Hi Folks, Just thought I'd drop a line to tell you how great a time I had on your charter. I dive off the coast of Vancouver Island (Canada) where it's all cold water diving, it was so nice to dive in temperate waters and to see new critters. Thanks to the captain and crew of the boat for making the trip enjoyable and memorable. I'll tell my friends about you!" Dennett Woodland
