Dive Sites

We have approximately a dozen sites we dive at regularly – most are less than 10 minutes boat ride away – the longest trip is half an hour. The sites feature either caverns or pristine hard coral reefs. No special training is required for the cavern dives – all have easy access and natural light sources. The depth range for most dives is 5m-30m. Here are some of our favourites…

Ana Mahaga (Limu Twin Caves) – A great site for all levels of divers – open enough to make the most novice diver feel comfortable, but with interesting swim thrus and plenty of nooks and crannies to satisfy the most experienced of divers. Ana Mahaga has two large caverns with a tunnel connecting them. Marine life regularly encountered here includes ribbon eels, lion fish, schools of trevally and midnight sea perch, parrot fish and white tip reef sharks.
Tamakautoga Reef – We have several sites along this beautiful stretch of hard coral reef with a wonderful array of marine life waiting to be photographed. Healthy coral continues down past 40 metres so deep diving enthusiasts will feel right at home as will newly certified divers with plenty to see in the shallows.
Snake Gully – Niue’s signature site – this one has it all – a cavern crammed with painted crayfish, sea snakes by the dozens (and sometimes hundreds), schools of barracuda which make regular appearances and all in a depth of less than 20 metres. Add to this the possibility of sighting turtles, sharks and maori wrasse, and its easy to see why divers want to come back here time and time again.
Junior Divers – Niue has a number of dive sites which are well suited for junior divers – but to ensure a safe and fun experience for all, the following restrictions apply:

1. In line with PADI recommendations, junior divers have a maximum depth restriction of 21 metres regardless of previous diving experience.

2. Divers under 15 years of age are unable to enter into cave systems

Please advise us in advance if there is a junior diver in your group as that may affect the sites you can dive.
