Waikawa Dive Centre

Kaikōura, New Zealand

Waikawa Dive Centre is a solid base for exploring Kaikōura's unique diving, particularly the kelp forests and seal colonies. They run boat trips out to the offshore reefs. We'd suggest them if you're keen on temperate water diving, seeking out New Zealand fur seals and maybe a shy octopus. It’s a good choice for divers wanting an authentic, no-frills local experience.
