Paihia Dive: The Underwater Experts
Paihia Dive in the Bay of Islands is the Far North of New Zealand's premier dive centre and it is our great pleasure to show you all the underwater wonders of this beautiful part of NZ.
 
We offer trips to the spectacular Rainbow Warrior - the jewel of the north aboard fully equiped dive RHIB 'Aka Maru', which takes only 5-10 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 realise those dreams. This is arguably the best diving in New Zealand!
