I've just completed my Open Water PADI Diving Course with Cathedral Cove Dive & Snorkel. Honestly, I couldn't recommend them more! They are 100% focused on safety, they're professional, and are locals, so the local intel adds a unique experience. Wendy, Elise, Ella and Josh are brilliant and Hahei is a magical spot to learn to dive.

If you've ever been curious about scuba diving, contact Wendy from Cathedral Cove Dive & Snorkel. As a woman, I felt very comfortable that experienced women could support me to achieve my dream to dive. As a mum, my whānau felt very confident that I was in safe hands at all times.

That's such a lovely personal review Mel, thanks so much. I think we should give the weather Gods a wee shout out too as they definitely had a hand in turning on a very special holiday Labour Weekend treat. Looking forward to seeing you and the fam back down here, take care Wendy and the team

We went for our first ever scuba dive with the Cathedral Cove Dive team and had an awesome time! They looked after us through every step and Elise was a great teacher for new divers. We were lucky with the weather and saw heaps of different fish, including a school of bluefish swimming right up by the surface. Recommend them to anyone like us who is keen to give diving a go - and will be back again!

I always have such a good time with CCD! Elise and the team are too notch! I did my PADI with them over the summer and have returned for more dives since- I keep coming back! Diving in the reserve is something special and with the amazing instructors guiding you everything is a breeze.

Thanks so much for the great review and we're looking forward to seeing you over here again this summer - the water temp is on the way up and the sun is making a solid appearance. Contact us if you're keen on the Advanced course (just a thought!)
See you again
