Sheltered shore dive on a shallow rocky reef in Titahi Bay.
Sheltered shore dive on a shallow rocky reef in Titahi Bay.
Titahi Bay North is a sheltered shore dive on the north side of Titahi Bay, where a sandy entry leads to a shallow rocky reef and straightforward navigation. The site suits relaxed training, night dives, and easy exploration when the bay is calm, with common fish life and occasional stingrays or seahorses.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch for fishing line, beach users, and rough-weather rips. A stable return line matters more than depth here.
Access Restrictions
Stay clear of flagged swim areas and respect the public beach traffic at the north end.
Legal Notes
No special dive permit is identified; follow local beach rules, patrol guidance, and any posted closures.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Easy shore access and a shallow reef make this a practical spot for relaxed training, buoyancy practice, and night dives.
Freediving
The shallow, beach-entry profile makes the site workable for freediving when the sea is calm.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is straightforward on calm days thanks to the shallow sand run and reef close to shore.
