What are the wreck diving sites in New Zealand?

What are the wreck diving sites in New Zealand? Shipwrecks are places that every diver wants to explore. Shipwrecks are not just shipwrecks, they are also historical relics. Do you like shipwrecks? If so, let’s take a look at some of the shipwreck sites in New Zealand.

The Poor Knights Islands

The islands are located on the east coast of Northland, 50 kilometers away from Whangarei. They are surrounded by the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve and are a nature reserve. , is also a world-famous deep-sea diving destination. It is said that its name comes from French toast (Poor

Knight's Pudding).

There are many caves on the seabed, where happy fish can freely enter and exit. The Poor Knights Islands are home to an incredible array of unique plants, animals and fish both above and below the water, and are fully protected as a World Heritage treasure. Converging warm ocean currents, microclimates and thousands of years of separation from the mainland have all combined to create its unique biodiversity. The fish that live here are incredible.

Hundreds of swim bladderless kingfish swim in groups; koheru fish move in uniform and integrated movements. Giant pinkmaomao fish swim among the blue porae

fish, and some stonefish, Lord Hall Island coral fish, golden snapper, toadstools and black-spotted grouper are caught unprepared fish.

Throughout the marine reserves and nature reserves, the archipelago’s 11-million-year-old volcanoes have shaped countless spectacular undersea cliffs, rock walls, caves, arches and tunnels.

The Tui wreck

Lying quietly on the seabed at a depth of 32 meters at 34-58.8 South/174-32.29 East, this ship was studied hydrogeographically by Charles HDavis for an American university. And build.

During the 17 years of service on The Tui, she was leased by the US Navy and named HMNZSTui, and has been serving the Navy's hydrographic work.

After lengthy negotiations, The

Tui was gifted to New Zealand for the promotion of the Tutukaka Coast. After being prepared for her new role, she was scuttled at Tutukaka on 20 February 1999 and became a diving attraction.

The Rainbow Warrior sunken

In July 1985, the Rainbow Warrior was bombed. Currently, the Rainbow Warrior is located 25 meters underwater, embedded in the seabed, and its hull is damaged. Colorful corals are smudged, and various fishes such as scarlet bonito and moray eels shuttle among them. Sea anemones, sponges and seaweed of various colors cling to the wreckage. Now, I am afraid that the meaning of Rainbow Warrior is far from "warrior", and "rainbow" is more appropriate.
