Whangārei Heads

Whangārei Heads is a coastal area in Northland, New Zealand, known for its access to nearby dive sites along the Whangārei Harbour and the South Pacific coastline. While the main town is a gateway to coastal exploration, the immediate area has a handful of local dive centers and dive sites within a short ride from shore. Expect temperate waters, varied currents at times, and typical South Pacific marine life around outer reefs and rocky structures. For divers, it serves as a convenient base for day trips to nearby reefs, pinnacles, and shallow wrecks within visibility ranges common to the region.
