Located just 1.5 hours from Whangarei, north of Dargeville, Kai Iwi Lakes is a fantastic alternative dive site for those days when the ocean isn't an option. At Lake Taharoa's Promenade Point, divers can enjoy facilities like restrooms and parking, along with easy access to both shallow waters and deeper drop-offs. Expect to see freshwater crayfish and native Bullies as you explore.
