19th February 2011 Poor Knights Island New Zealand Northern Arch and Crystal cave

This time there appeared to be a lot of divers on Dive Tutukakas main boat ‘El Tigra’ and I was placed on the smaller boat ‘Bright Arrow’ with a group of  experienced divers.

This was a very much relaxed affair and far more enjoyable than the previous dive at Poor Knights Island that can be seen by comparing my air consumption between the two days diving. equally I was able to take far more video this time around and equally my breathing is a lot quieter (nothing to do with the volume control set lower).

The underwater views of the Northern Arch are really beautiful with some of the divers just wishing to ‘hang’ in the water to take in the view. This time the approach to the Northern Arch was from the North side.

The second visit to the Crystal cave was also pretty good but I think that my dive buddies were know to keen on the internal gloom so we did not tarry there long. We did see a Ray afterwards which was very nice as well as a lot of the fish appeared to very friendly and happy to have a diver with a camera up close.

This time a very good days diving compared to the previous set of dives.
