Auckland Scuba Dive

One of our favourite dive sites, Goat Island Marine Reserve 🌊🐟

Dive you know… it was New Zealand’s first marine reserve, established in 1975, and it’s now home to an incredible diversity of marine life thanks to full protection from fishing and collection?!

The DIPSI students are lucky enough to see firsthand how marine ecosystems thrive with minimal disturbance — from schooling snapper and blue maomao to kelp forests buzzing with life 💙🤿

A perfect place to build dive experience while learning what healthy, protected underwater environments really look like 🌊

Putting those nav skills to the test 🧭

DIPSI 1 put their underwater navigation training into practice, completing a dive from one site to another before being picked up at the end point.

A perfect chance to apply their planning, teamwork, and compass skills in a real dive environment!

And yes…those stairs had us all saying “I can’t go any further than this 😭.” 🪜🥾🏃🏽‍♂️‍➡️🤿😅
