We'll be escorting the moms-in-law on a cruise of Austrialia and New Zealand over the upcoming Christmas / New Year's holiday. :christmas Not our idea of an ideal diving vacation, but it is a good way for us to travel with the gals. We do hope to get wet, if possible.
Our ports of call are: Melbourn, Hobart, Taz, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Tauranga, and Bay of Islands. I expect the water temps of the more southern sites might be a bit cool for our tastes, but we have done some diving in 58F/15C water.
I'd be most interested to hear from any local folks or others with experience and recommendations for these areas. We are AOW divers with about 60 open water dives.
We will be limited in time in each port, due to the cruise ship format. We have able to successfully coordinate with dive operators on cruises to other parts of the world. Are there any friendly dive operators in these ports to be recommeded? Operators may contact me by PM, if you wish.
