Dive Zone Tauranga

Right in the heart of Tauranga at 50 Cross Road, Dive Zone Tauranga is a PADI 5 Star IDC dive centre serving the Bay of Plenty. With four PADI Instructors on the team, it's a place built around teaching — offering training from 8 year olds all the way up to instructor level, and everything in between.

Courses, gear and local diving

The centre covers all three of PADI's core paths: scuba diving, freediving and Emergency First Response. Learning happens on site, with an onsite training pool, a dedicated classroom and air conditioning to keep things comfortable. The retail shop stocks scuba and freedive gear, and services include air fills, equipment sales and scuba rental.

From here, divers head out to sites around the Bay of Plenty, including Motiti. With a dive boat, on-site parking and English-speaking staff, Dive Zone Tauranga suits everyone from young first-timers to those working toward a professional rating.
