We took students from Te Hihi School and Rosehill Intermediate School snorkelling at Goat Island. Dived in Leigh Harbour where there were some huge sea hares, nudibranchs and a shy conger eel. Water is clear and warming up. December 17th weather not so good but found a sheltered place to dive - The Outpost at Leigh. Nice clear water, kingfish, porae, rays, goatfish, Wellington nudibranchs, demoiselles and lots more fish. Dived with visitor Yoko who stayed in our bed & breakfast room. Guided numerous visitors snorkelling at Goat Island with many learning to snorkel for the first time. www.discovergoatisland.co.nz Dive New Zealand magazine published our article on lower North Island dive sites. www.divenewzealand.com
