Poor Knights for swimming in "fish soup", Rainbow Warrior; Tui & Waikato for some nice and still interesting wreck. White Island for an active volcanic island, with some great life around.
If you're in for altitude lake diving, you can dive lake Taupo - a crater from largest volcanic eruption in last 5000 years. While there you can do a drift dive, finishing it up in a thermal pool (or Huka falls, and then we'll read about you in the news ).
Going south, there's Mikhail Lermontov for a sunken Soviet cruise ship, Pupu Springs fo some of the best fresh water vis in word - over 200', not that you would notice given that the springs is only about 130' at its widest part.
- or Fiordlands, if you have drysuit or don't feel cold, for black coral in reasonable depths.
Or you can go deep technical and try to find last few golden ingots from Niagara wreck in Hauraki Gulf (depth around 390' though, so schedule rather long deco stops. Of course, a you probably wouldn't do this without a properly planned expedition, would you? ).
Or if you less challenging (depth wise - worse current wise) artifact dive, and have lot of time, get a livaboard to Three Kings to try to find some silver, and if you're lucky even golden, coins from a currency shipment sunk there.
And if you're waiting for a ferry in Wellington, give me a yell and I'll take you for some crayfish diving .
So it's plenty to choose from, depending on your skills, time and budget.
Be warned though - it's all temperate to cold water diving.
Regards,
V.
