Diving
Mana
When the southerly winds get up, the south coast turns into a surfers and weatherwatchers dream so the divers look towards Mana for a chance to get wet. Whitireia Park and Titahi Bay offer nice easy dives for all levels or if you are up for a bit of a hike you will find more challenging dives that are well worth it. As this area is fairly sheltered expect to find large groups of juvenile fish, Stingrays and Seahorses in as little as 3m of water. For a day out take a charter across to Mana and get rewarded with clear water and maginificent landscapes or head up the coast to Kapiti and reap the rewards of the areas longest established marine reserves as you lose yourself in schools of bait fish, Tarakihi, Butterfly Perch and pelagics.
