About Waiwiri Rock

Waiwiri Rock is a deep Northland boat dive built around a boulder reef that keeps each visit interesting. It is the kind of offshore site that rewards experienced divers who are comfortable with changing conditions, because the main attraction is the unpredictability of what turns up on the rock and in the blue. Schools of fish are part of the appeal, and the chance of seeing larger visitors is what makes the site stand out.
