Lake Rotoma
About Lake Rotoma
Lake Rotoma is a freshwater dive site formed inside a caldera after lava flows blocked the lake’s outlet thousands of years ago. It’s described as a strong training site that can be dived year-round. A common objective is a sunken dinghy sitting around 11 m, and divers can expect to see abundant koura (freshwater crayfish) as well as brown and rainbow trout.
