Sound Diving NZ

Marakura Bay has a stoney shoreline at the south eastern end of Te Anau township. The site is easily accessible as a shore dive and slopes slowly close to shore. The slop quickly increases to the point there it starts to drop quickly and you can get 20m of depth only a short swim from shore.

Sunshine Bay Boat Ramp is located within Lake Whakatipu. The site has a fault line with steep terraced cliff faces that drop to beyond diveable depths. The site has very interesting geological foundations that provide for a fantastic fresh water wall dive.
