What To Expect

You will experience an underwater adventure discovering sponge gardens and a huge array of marine life. The Poor Knights Islands are the remains of a group of ancient volcanoes. Beneath the waves the volcanoes have been hollowed & shaped by the ocean into a web of caves, tunnels and arches.

Set off from the harbour on our high speed RIB and you will soon be there experiencing the amazing underwater arches, topography and marine life. Washed by warm currents the water is clear and in many areas sheltered.

New Zealand Diving can offer personalized tours away from the crowds with a maximum of eight divers. Our all inclusive package includes 2 x dives, tank fills, gear hire!

To join one of our charters, you must have dived within the last 12 months – contact us if you need a refresher course. Nitrox available on request to those who are qualified.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Poor Knights Dive Charter cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Top10Adventures® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
