Right on Auckland’s doorstep lies the Hauraki Gulf, known throughout the world as a boating paradise. For many divers, this area has a certain mystique. many have heard of it have heard of it, but few seem to know where it is or have actually dived it. Known for its Hammerhead experience, huge crayfish, and huge kingfish, these dive sites are not to be missed. Horn Rock is actually a large area of rough ground between Little Barrier and Great Barrier. Only one small rock breaks the surface; the rest of the site lies between 10 and 20 meters, dropping off the edges to over 40 meters.
New Zealand Diving run charters throughout December to March to offer divers the opportunity to encounter Hammerheads. Divers are recommended to book early as spaces are limited.
