LIVEABOARD - SOLD

Effective as of 1st October 2026, Northland Dive has sold its vessel Sun Spy (Liveaboard) to Dive Now in Whangarei NZ.

This has been an extremely hard discussion to make. Shane & I have built this side of the business up over the past 8 years . The sale of Sun Spy allows us to concentrate on the Lodge & Day Boats and to build this side of the business up again.

The new owner, Dive Now brings a wealth of experience and shares our commitment to quality service. Simon & Jamie-Lee are well known within the industry and have exceptional knowledge of the Poor Knight Islands. We will be working closely with them for a seamless hand over.

Your current bookings will transfer over to the new owners and they’ll be in touch to introduce themselves shortly.

You can reach the new team on +64 9 438 1075 or info@divenow.co.nz, or visit them online at https://divenow.co.nz/.

We wish you and Dive Now all the best in the future.

Space

Two cabins & four bunks accommodate a maximum of ten guests. Dine, relax, and gear up in two lounge areas. A large outdoor deck (with a freshwater shower) provides space to gear up. Hot refreshments are in constant supply.

Easy access

A cruising speed of 16 knots gets you to the Poor Knights Islands in 80 minutes. A lift at the back of the boat raises divers up out of the water, eliminating the strain and difficulty getting back on board, especially great for tech divers.

Nitrox supply

A custom-designed tank rack allows tanks to be filled with nitrox or air. Nitrox gives divers longer bottom times and reduces deco time – a favourite for technical divers and photographers. (Nitrox certification and nitrox tank stickers are required).
