We have had another great week of weather and diving! The vis has ranged between 7-10m and the temperature 17/18 degrees. It makes all the difference to get out and have the spring sunshine to warm up 🙂
Rowan and his gang of Narki Gnomes are swimming with humpback whales inEua,Tongaright now. Meanwhile we are seeing more photos of our recentBalitrip being posted on facebook page, including clips of the Mola Mola, mantas and one of the most surprising sightings – a submarine which cruised past us!
Don’t forget that we have our special winter rates at the moment, $120 for a double boat dive, or $108 if you are a current renewed club member.
