Acerca de Matiu-Somes Wharf
Matiu-Somes Wharf es una inmersión desde costa protegida en el puerto de Wellington, entre el muelle viejo y el nuevo, con una barcaza semihundida, un antiguo cabrestante y bolsillos de arena que recompensan las búsquedas lentas y metódicas. Es ideal para buceadores que prefieren la estructura de un muelle, los restos y la observación de fauna pequeña de cerca, más que recorrer arrecifes amplios y abiertos.
