We know that consumers now have many choices of where to shop, both locally and internationally. The internet is packed full of “bargain dive gear” but we hope you will choose us because we provide more than just a quick sale.  We want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience every time you go diving. It is our goal to maintain a high quality one stop Dive Shop to support local divers in and around the Taranaki community.

Some key reasons to choose your local Dive Shop instead of the internet are:

All the PADI Diver Training is done locally – learn to dive in the environment you will be diving in.  There is a world of difference between the pristine warm conditions in the Islands compared to our rugged coastline.  If you have been trained in Taranaki you will be best equipped to dive anywhere in the world. Courses are available for   beginner’s right through to experienced divers.

Local knowledge and advice – our instructors work onsite in the retail store when they aren't teaching so can give you the best advice on what gear works in the local conditions.  They are local divers and dive locally so know the dive sites and conditions.  Dive Shops are often located close to the boat ramp and talk to many returning divers so know what the conditions are like on a daily basis

Our “big girl” the Ingasoll Rand 23cfm high pressure compressor – without your dive cylinder filled with compressed air how much Kai Moana can you gather on one breath.  The retail store subsidizes the running cost of our compressor so that we can provide you with fast, extensively filtered and tested air while you wait.

Wide Selection - We have a comprehensive selection of products.  Let us do the hunting, chasing and researching so you can sit back and relax knowing that the products we choose have been tried and tested and recommended by us. We won’t stock anything that we wouldn’t personally use ourselves. Plus we also have all the accessories and replacement parts you will need to keep your SCUBA, snorkelling or spearfishing equipment in good working order

Hands on experience – you can touch, feel and try on the products to ensure you get the best and most ​comfortable fit possible                                                                                                         

Support your Local Economy - By shopping at your local Dive Shop you will be supporting local families, freight providers and the Taranaki economy and help keep our province strong. We use local couriers, suppliers and employ local staff.

Comprehensive support and service on site – our suppliers are good, keen Kiwi Divers and like us they stand behind their products 100%.   If you have a problem with anything you have purchased form us then bring it back and we will have a chat with the supplier and between the two of us do our best to fix, replace or refund. 

We service dive equipment - on site and also test cylinders in store.  You only need to go to one place to get everything ready for diving.

Hire equipment – if you need an extra cylinder or have forgotten an essential piece of equipment then not a problem – we can rent you almost everything you need excluding gloves and catch bags which can be purchased in store.

Plus we can Ship it – we can ship out just about anything in store straight to your home if you ring or email out us your request. This means you still have the advantage of many of the key benefits above but you don’t need to drive all the way to New Plymouth.
