Bay of Islands Day Trip Freediving

Day trip Freediving...

We start the dive day at 8:00am at our dive shop on Williams rd. We organize equipment and paper work, then load the boat on Paihia wharf for a 8:30am departure. On the way out to the dive site we cruise through the islands and often see Dolphins, Penguins, Seals and marine bird life. It takes approximately 40 minutes on Sentinel to get to Deep Water Cove. First up is normally the wreck dive, While the wreck divers are diving you have the opportunity to freediving the wreck. After the wreck we will head to a reef site in Deep Water Cove to explore the marine life

Once all the diving is done we cruise back though the islands to Paihia, arriving at the wharf around 3:30pm.

UNDERSTANDING THE RISKS

I accept that this activity inherently involves risks and potential hazards. The risks and hazards include, but are not limited to breathing compressed gas, marine traffic, marine life, decompression sickness, drowning, barotrauma, air embolism, decompression illness, dehydration, gas narcosis, malfunctioning equipment, ear problems, sun damage, hyperthermia, hypothermia, sea sickness, and adverse weather events.

Dive/Snorkelling trips are run in the outdoors on the ocean, so may be exposed to sudden natural disasters such as, but not limited to Tsunami, Earthquakes, Slips Landslides or Rock Falls, or Volcanic Eruption. I am aware that participating in the Diving/Snorkelling offered by Paihia Dive can be hazardous if they are not conducted with care, control, and responsibility. I acknowledge that these risks could result in my injury (physical or mental) or even death.
