I had 2 dives at the Waikato and 2 more at the Poor Knights in january 2004. It blew me away. Not that that was difficult at that time, having only done some local diving with a brand new AOW cert. 
Perhaps the only thing I regret about a fantastic 3-month backpacking/diving trip I took was that I had a bad cold when I was in New Zealand and couldn't dive the Poor Knights. I have friends from N.Z. (now living in the states or shipboard) who strongly urged me to do it anyway.
OP
Doc thats a shame you couldnt dive the Knights. They are my favourite dive spot ever!drbill:
At least there would have been plenty to see topside around the place but I do highly recommend you visit the Knights at some stage.
If you ever get over this way again then feel free to give me a bell and I will happily join you for a few great dives.
Great Report Azza............Thank You!!
