Orakei Scuba Centre, Auckland

Everyone wants to go scuba diving sometime. There is something about the mysterious deep blue sea that fascinates us all. Well, here's your opportunity. Lessons start in the pool, continue into the ocean, and finish with a scuba weekend at the beautiful marine reserve of Goat Island, north of Auckland. If you can't commit to weeks or months of lessons, don't worry. All it takes to learn to dive is two weekends or five week-day nights. While training, all gear is provided except mask and snorkel.
