Island Bay Divers operates from premises on the corner of Reef St and The Parade, Island Bay. We commenced business in 1985 and have been running scuba diving courses and retail/ gear servicing/ cylinder testing longer than anyone else in Wellington. We have the biggest compressor in Wellington so we offer no wait tank fills. Island Bay Divers put forward the proposal to DoC for the Marine reserv

e in 1988. In 2008 we were asked by the Friends of the Taputeranga Reserve to chose a site and place buoyage for the Is Bay snorkel trail. Located in the middle of the reserve it is 7 minutes walk from the shop. It's the third snorkel trail in New Zealand. We hire out snorkel and scuba gear. Anyone can snorkel (you can't sink in a wetsuit) and we also organise tours if people prefer to have a guided tour. See https://www.ibdivers.co.nz/snorkel-tour/ for further details. We also offer guided scuba trips along the coast, plus unguided scuba dives every week. If you are coming to us by bus, we are 20m from the final bus stop on the #1 route. If you are coming by vehicle we are on the corner of Reef St & the Parade, Island Bay. There are three on site parking spaces five metres from the compressor. Summer hours:

Our Story

Island Bay Divers opened in 1985, retailing scuba,snorkel & freedive/spearfishing equipment, scuba training, equipment servicing & testing.

In 1988 we put up the proposal to the Department of Conservation for a marine reserve in Island Bay. Twenty years later after a lot of hard work & community debate the Island Bay Taputeranga Marine Reserve became a reality.

Once the reserve was established we were asked by the Friends of Taputeranga Marine Reserve Trust to choose a site and place buoys to mark a snorkel trail within the reserve. This snorkel trail is one of three snorkel trails in New Zealand.

As well as our retail , diver training and equipment & cylinder servicing/ testing activities, Island Bay Divers also has a extensive range of hire equipment for snorkel & scuba activities. If you want a ‘no wait’ fill, we have 3 off road carparks 5 m from our compressor. Our instructor & Divemasters are Padi, Naui, SSI & Cmas.
