Volcano diving - NZ's new xtreme sport

Yip, not content with living in a town on 3 active faultlines. We decided to go diving in the waters around New Zealand's only active volcano. The place in question is White Island about 50kms east of Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty. This is going to be one of those update with lot ofs photos but that's fine 'cos the diving was fantastic and I even managed to find scorpion fish so it must have been a good dive.

Honestly, he was happy to see us

  • Hi Derek
    Really like the pics. I am using your Blue Mao Mao fish picture as my desktop background. Startling.
    You are certainly getting about.
    take care
