Kia ora adventurers!  I wanted to put together a quick reference so that you can see what we can do at each COVID-19 Alert Level here in NZ. That way you can be confident when making bookings or purchasing online.  Of course, there are more 'internal' actions, such as increased staff hand washing & sanitiser use, business premises cleaning, COVID tracer app signage etc that take place at all alert levels to help keep us all safe, but these are the quick outlines of what we can do!  In the event of local or national travel restrictions in either your home address...

Wow we’ve already hit the end of June, they say time flies when you’re having fun and we’ve certainly been doing that with lots of in water time!  We started the month with our Waiheke High school students, finishing the open water course and certifying 8 new Open Waters divers, followed by a boat trip out with the awesome team from AWOL where we took out 3 fun divers from the High School and finished the Advanced Open Water course for one student too!
