There is no general 'marine park tag' fee for Bay of Islands diving, but most international visitors pay New Zealand's International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL). Additional costs are usually activity-based (cruises, ferries, DOC campground bookings) rather than mandatory dive permits.
