The lodge is big, comfortable and friendly with double rooms or dorms. Space for cleaning and storing dive gear is well organised. There are different launching possibilities for just about all weather and sheltered dive sites.
I was supposed to be going on their live aboard to the Poor Knights, but it was too rough so we did sheltered day trips to the wreck of the Canterbury and reef diving. I was not disappointed and Shane, Julia and the crew made us all feel at home in the lodge and safe diving. Thanks for a great weekend.

The diving at the Poor Knights and Bay of Islands is amazing but what makes the experience extra special is the level of service Northland Dive give you. We stayed in their comfortable lodge, enjoying delicious fully catered meals. Shane and Julia are so knowledgeable about the area and marine species and do their best to ensure every diver gets the most out of each dive, whether you're interested in large or small species, wrecks or photography. Their small team makes it feel like a family holiday and there really wasn't any moment I was disappointed in.
