Aramoana Mole
About Aramoana Mole
A dive along a man‑made rock mole that protects the harbour entrance by directing the tidal flow and helping keep the channel clear. Depth generally increases the farther you travel along the structure, with most dives conducted in mid-depth water. The site features a varied mix of colourful sponges and abundant small marine life such as sea slugs and snails, along with some fish species including moki, trumpeter, greenbone, and red cod.
