Whatever the time of year, there’s always something cool!

Seals, gannet colonies, dolphins, snapper schools, fish and more fish!

There is always a huge range of new life that is on display at the Poor Knights Islands, and we are out there every single day to catch a glimpse of what is going on.

Dolphins are regular visitors.

We see dolphins most of the time, and they are an added bonus to our day! The trip out to the Poor Knighhts Islands can be as interesting as the dive day, and as we hold a Marine Mammal Permit from the Department of Conservation, we are permitted to divert course to interact with them!

Awesome!

Seals at the Poor Knights

We have an annual local colony of seals out at the Poor Knights Islands, and lately they have been arriving, and wanting to play!

Very inquisitive, the young male was coming over to investigate, and getting up close and personal with Luke’s camera!

These guys are regular visitors every winter, and hang out on the rocks, basking in the sun, and generally just being bachelor boys over the cooler months, before they head back to Muriwai Beach to hook up with the ladies.
