WHANGAROA HARBOUR

Scallop
Off Peach Island or in western arm, NORTHLAND
Depth: 10-15m
Don’t dive this without a boatman. In summer when boat traffic is high it pays to have your boat drift above you. As long as dredges haven’t hit the bed too hard there are usually some scallops and lots of sponges, shells and nudibranchs. Frogfish and rare cone shells have been found near the entrance.
