We have recently expanded and are now offer diving out of Marsden Cove Marina. This gives us easy access to Reotahi Marine Reserve, Bream Head, Bream Rock and Guano Rock. And of course, the Nature Reserve Islands located just off the Coast of Bream Bay, Hen and Chicken Islands and Sail Rock. Come and explore with us!
Our Mission: To share our passion for the underwater world, with a focus on friendship, a spirit of adventure and a commitment to safety, the environment and our community.
So, with our mission in mind we have chosen to make all of our dives “no take”. We want to ensure that our diving operations do not have a negative impact on the environment.
Take only photos and memories…. leave only bubbles!!


Be sure to check out the information about diving and snorkelling at the Poor Knights Marine Reserve while you’re here visiting us at Marsden Cove Marina.
Because we know you love good food, make sure you check out the great local cafes and bakeries in the area for easy lunches. See the team at Land and Sea Cafe for a quick coffee before departure.
And there is plenty of parking and very easy access to our marina. The best place to park is in the gravel carpark on 48 Rauiri Drive as the footpath from there leads directly to the gate to our Marina. Marsden Cove Marina also have trolleys to help you move your dive gear from the car park to the boat.
