Snorkeling has long been a beloved way to explore the underwater world. With vibrant coral gardens, large schools of fish and a vast underwater topography to explore, snorkel excursions are a great way to experience both your own backyard and create memorable holiday memories to last a lifetime.
But often these sensational snorkel spots are an equally a great place to make your first ocean dives. Whether you participate in a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or take the PADI Open Water Diver course to become a certified diver, you’ll be guided by a trained PADI® Professional who will be looking out for you the entire time as you take your first breaths under the ocean. This experience allows you to have an intimate connection with the location you are exploring as, oftentimes, you will have the opportunity to see even more marine life than you would from the surface of the water.

One of the first places to visit once borders open will be stunning Fiji.
While New Zealanders are all loving exploring their backyard, it s hard not to let thoughts stray to when the borders reopen and we can visit our beloved Pacific Islands again. The first place on many New Zealanders minds will definitely be Fiji. The ease of holidaying, the beauty of the islands and Bula Spirit are a huge feature of Kiwis winter escapes and have been sorely missed in these no-travel times. Fiji is gearing up too - they ve missed welcoming us to their beautiful shores so have been preparing for the day they can welcome New Zealanders back once again. There s no better place to put the past and Covid behind us - as anyone who s been there knows, stress simply does not exist as soon as your feet touch Fijian sand.

Love for family and faith in God was what kept Neeru Christopher, 33, and Areieta Tiaon, 32, alive during their four-day ordeal at sea.
The pair was fishing near Beqa Island when they encountered engine problems and it started to rain heavily.
“We had caught some tuna and yellowfin but we were forced to throw it away as the sea became rough and water entered our fibreglass boat,” Mr Christopher said.
“Our boat capsized around Solo Rock Lighthouse so that’s when we made a break and swam for an uninhabited island nearby at 8pm on Saturday.”
