An event run by Taputeranga Marine Reserve:

Join the Big Dive and Snorkel event for Taputeranga Marine Reserve!
Celebrate a pāua-full 15 years of Taputeranga Marine Reserve and join them for the Big Dive, their annual celebration of the reserve and fundraising event.
Thanks to their sponsors they have over 900 NZD in prizes to win this year! You can get raffle tickets (10$) from Oceanhunter, Dive Wellington and Dive HQ shops before the event, or email them directly via enquiries@taputeranga.org.nz or buy a ticket on the day.

All funds raised will support the work of the Friends of Taputeranga Marine Reserve Trust – their annual 1,000 NZD postgraduate scholarship, the upkeep of the Island Bay Snorkel Trail and our outreach and education activities!

Join them for a fun afternoon at Princess Bay and explore Taputeranga Marine Reserve. All snorkelers and certified divers can take a splash for the reserve and if you don’t want to get wet you can explore the reserve with our 360 virtual tour on the Trust’s VR headset.
