Morning Check In
A summer morning here at Dive! Tutukaka Headquarters...we are very streamlined! The whole process takes about 15 minutes from start to stop, and we can gear up about 50 divers in 45 minutes. Still leaves time for a coffee!
Thanks to Dave Abbott for the footage!

on behalf of my brother felix and mehi kate! this is moritz and felix!
we took a dive in the poor knights with you somewhat a month ago. we were two german guys who forgot to take with us a passport that we left in the dive shop. you gave us a ring when we were already close to auckland so we had to drive all the way back to tutukaka. remember us?
this is just to say thanks. you were very kind and we appreciated it. i told my family how wonderful that dive was! i now take a course to get a licence for boats that i can go diving more often.
hopefully things are going well! all the best,
