Island Bay Divers

We have been diving longer than any other shop in Wellington

Welcome to Island Bay Divers, located on the corner of Reef St and The Parade, Island Bay. We have been operating longer than any other dive shop in Wellington. Let us show you around the area.

Shop hours are 9am to 6pm seven days a week for summer. In winter the shop is open 5 days a week – closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Island Bay is one of New Zealand’s top dive sites, located in the middle of the capital city, Wellington. It’s rocky coastline, bordering the deep clear waters of Cook Strait, provides a habitat for a wide variety of fish species.
