FLAT (MOTUEKA) ISLAND

Two-Spot Demoiselle
Halfway between Whangaroa and the Cavalli Islands NORTHLAND
Depth: 0-30m
A good dive if there’s no swell. All sides of the island have jumbled boulders with tons of colourful growth and a few crayfish deep underneath. Big red moki abound and schools of demoiselles, butterfly perch and tarakihi appear under the blue maomao. Often kingfish on the exposed side of the island. A good dive on the way back to Whangaroa from the Warrior.
