DIVE CLUB Marlborough, keeping you diving

Marlborough is without doubt one of New Zealand’s best diving regions. Consistently good diving conditions prevail throughout the year, we have one of the worlds best wreck dives, the Mikhail Lermontov, along with many other historical wrecks and world class diving sites

Dive Marlborough, Marlborough’s only PADI Instructor Development Center is the home of Dive Club Marlborough; our base is in the Waikawa Bay Marina complex, we offer daily dive tours, equipment rental, sales, servicing, air/nitrox facilities and training by our Course Director and Master Scuba Diver Instructors from Discover Scuba to Instructor. Club members have access to Dive Marlborough's facilities and 2 surveyed charter boats at preferential rates.

Club Philosophy

Like learning to drive a car, becoming a safe and confident diver comes with practice, experience and time. It doesn’t happen within the time restraints of an entry-level course. However many graduates of entry level training leave with the misconception that they are invincible when it comes to diving, or at the other end of the scale lack confidence in their skills to the extent that they never dive again.

  Quite simply the club goals are to ensure diver safety and fun, offer divers an affordable vehicle to gain new experiences, knowledge and equipment and meet new and interesting people. Dive Club Marlborough also encourages family involvement and snorkellers or non divers are most welcome to join in on the fun and club events. Through membership every diving member will become a better and SAFE diver, by way of ongoing training, exposure to safe diving techniques and our simplistic approach to the use of good safe diving equipment and accessories. Every member will also automatically become a member of New Zealand Underwater with all the benefits of this national organization.
