Niue Dive runs half day dive trips departing from the Dive shop Monday to Saturday at 8.00am and returning at lunchtime.
We do 2 dives at separate locations with an hour's surface interval in between. Single Dive trips and Night Dives can also
be arranged. We also run snorkelling, dolphin and whale watching trips. We encourage our guests to swim with the
spinner dolphins and humpback whales when the opportunity arises. Whale season runs from July to October.
The diving on Niue is very easy with virtually no currents, but its also very rewarding. Our sites are a mix of caverns and
pristine hard coral reefs with a wide selection of tropical reef fish and marine life. Niue's own friendly sea snakes are a
feature on the dives, along with barracuda, turtles, reef sharks and painted crays. We take a conservational approach to
our marine activities - nothing is taken on SCUBA, we don't feed fish and we use moorings on our 10 regular dive sites.
Here are a few examples of some of our favourite dives:
| Snake Gully - This site has it all - great coral, a lovely cavern, heaps of fish and more sea snakes than you'll see anywhere else - all in a depth of less than 20 metres (65 feet). |

|
The Fans - A beautiful garden of over two dozen Gorgonia Fans at a depth of 30-40 metres (100-130ft) The site also features a lovely wall of hard corals covered in reef fish. Pelagics including barracuda, tuna, trevally and sharks are often seen swimming by. |
| Marine Park - A site for those who love their coral big and beautiful - some of the healthiest plate corals you'll find anywhere in the world. More than a kilometre of pristine reef intercut with gullies - don't forget to look for turtles sleeping under the coral. |

Limu Twin Caves - One of the many great cavern dives around Niue - from a pretty reef top you descend into a world of light and shade, where schools of midnight perch hide in the dark and morays camouflage amongst the coral - you exit into the deep blue for a chance to spot ribbon eels and maybe a reef shark before plunging back into another cavern where lionfish lurk around the edges and a narrow tunnel takes you back into the first cave. Cavern addicts will also enjoy "the Chimney" with its painted crays and "the Bubble cave" (home of the stalactites). |
