Old Wharf

Located just an 8-minute drive from Daves Diving Kaikoura, behind the historic Fyffe House, you'll find an exceptional dive site in the crystal-clear waters of New Zealand. The entry/exit point is conveniently situated at the old boat ramp, although caution is advised as boats frequently launch from the nearby beach. Look out for the unmistakable yellow 'No Fishing' Buoy, serving as a surface swim reference.

This dive spot boasts a rocky reef that provides the perfect climate for a variety of marine life. Native Blue Moki thrive in these waters, while reef octopuses are a common sight. Prepare to be amazed by the abundance of crayfish in the area.

Formerly a bustling wharf for unloading goods, this site, located at Jimmy Armers Beach, has been transformed into a local Rahui, flourishing with an array of captivating sealife. This makes it an ideal location for beginners to encounter a diverse range of native coastal fish and perhaps catch a glimpse of an elusive octopus or two!
