Well I left north for the Bay of Islands this morning and arrive an hour or so, and I have booked four dives already. I'm going out to dive the HMNZ Canterbury tomorrow along with another dive on a reef. The Canterbury was deliberately scuttled a few years ago to offer a wreck for divers. I'm going to dive the Rainbow Warrior and another reef dive on Thursday. The Rainbow Warrior was a Greenpeace boat sunk by the French in 1985 as it was getting too close to their nuclear test on Mururoa Atoll. Typical French, I don't think us Brits would dare do such a thing ;-). Both sites look amazing and I've been dying to dive a wreck, and now I get to dive two! Pictures to follow next week.
Well coming into the countryside it still feels quite like England. Well except for some more exotic trees. Rolling green hills, and it's even raining and will be for the next few days. So I can't see too much of the bay of islands yet as it's very misty and cloudy. But the little of what I can see it looks very nice. Hopefully it will clear up before I leave and I'll be able to see the amazing view.
I didn't realize diving wrecks was a "thing" for divers. But I imagine it would feel all James Bond ;) Have fun and look forward to the photos xxx
