Conservation of precious marine environments is an vital task for the Department of Conservation and the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve, considered one of the most important in the country, comes under their careful and ongoing jurisdiction.
World Heritage Status is pending, and UNESCO will make a final call in the next 12 months.
The cultural and archeological aspect of the Islands are unique, the flora and fauna are protected by the strict no landing zone.
We’re working with relevant governmental, private and commercial organisations to support future initiatives at the Poor Knights Islands that include:
· Biosecurity
· MPA zoning
· Building stronger relationships with Ngati Wai
· National Marine Park blueprint
· Quarantine

Chad Lue ChoyHi Dive Tutukaka team,
Just a quick note to say thanks again for the GREAT day of diving off Poor Knights! I can see why that area was so highly rated by Jacque. It was so great to get back in the water after 4 years. Your professional service and attention to details were the best I have seen since I have been diving. The background on the islands and the plant and animal life was also a nice twist.
Thanks especially to Hemi for running over the basic dive drills and making me feel safe and confident back in the water.
If I ever make it back to NZ, I will definitely come out again. I will also let any diving buddies heading that way to look you guys up.
