OAKURA

Golfball Sponges
South Whangaruru Harbour, NORTHLAND
Depth: 0-20m
Good diving around Henry Island 2km offshore with crayfish and school fish. Some nice reefs with sponge life and nudibranchs. Red moki, porae and a few snapper around the reefs but beware of set nets. Scallop beds between the island and the shore in 10-15m but there is usually heavy boat traffic in summer.
