Urquharts Bay

Urquharts Bay is a coastal locale in Northland, New Zealand, on the northern tip of the country. It sits along the South Pacific with access to nearby coastal dive sites and local centers within reach of the Northland region’s diving network. The area offers offshore reef and wall dives, kelp workups, and marine life typical of northern New Zealand coastal waters. Given there are a handful of nearby dive sites, divers visiting Urquharts Bay typically base themselves in the broader Northland area to access boat trips, shore dives, and local dive operators. If you’re exploring the region, you’ll find a relaxed gateway feel with practical access for day trips, equipment rental, and entry into the wider Northland dive scene.
