There’s no better way to relax and enjoy our fantastic coastline than taking a Dive HQ spear fishing or scuba diving trip. Or if getting into the water isn’t for you, we can also organise fishing charters designed around your dream catch.
Our local trips and national excursions are very popular, and it’s a great way to meet fellow divers and spear fishers. We are lucky to have three amazing dive areas in the Canterbury region: - Take a trip to Akaroa where you will encounter schools of reef fish, beautiful sea tulips or you may be lucky and spot some hectors dolphins. Or perhaps you’ll go diving around Kaikoura and explore the underwater lime reefs and search out octopus and interesting vertebrae’s. The Motunau reefs is another great spot, famous for its vast reefs and large schools of pelagic fish.
