January 2010

The year started with our publication of New Zealand's top ten dive sites in the January issue of Air New Zealand's inflight magazine KiaOra.
Guided snorkellers at Goat Island, giving tuition and showing the highlights of the marine reserve. Discover Goat Island. Numerous guests stayed in our bed and breakfast accommodation with visitors from UK, Australia, US, and NZ. Our guests enjoyed snorkelling at Goat Island and walking along Pakiri Beach. Helped guide snorkellers in Whangateau Harbour and saw flounder, cockles, heart urchins, blennies, yellow-eyed mullet, kahawai, little crabs, barnacles, oysters, spotties, Neptune's necklace and mangrove trees plus lots more. Supervised a group on Little Barrier Island where we had a great day, topped off when a pod of orca passed. Also guided another small group from the classic charter yacht Lady Gay (1935), at Goat Island. www.classicyachtsnz.com
