Whangamumu Reef - Bay of Islands

Apit Island offers a straightforward dive, popular with local operators looking for a relaxed afternoon. You'll generally find schools of fusiliers, the occasional snapper, and often a few shy cuttlefish poking about the reef slope. It’s a gentle spot, good for newer divers building confidence, or anyone wanting an easy second dive. Don't expect dramatic walls or pelagics, just pleasant diving.
