We met our full Part-Time Level 3 Rescue Diver crew this weekend at Lake Pupuke 🤿
Such a good mix of people, all with different goals but the same passion for diving.
Some are balancing full-time office jobs and using diving as the perfect weekend reset. One student is training while their partner completes our Full Time Diploma in Scuba before they head overseas together to travel and work in diving 🌎
Another diver is already planning to join our Full Time Diploma next year after discovering a passion for the marine industry, while another is preparing for future marine science study and wants the dive skills to work underwater as a researcher.
This is what we love most about part-time training — real people building confidence, community and future opportunities while still working during the week.
Our Part-Time Rescue Program runs weekends through until November.
Thanks to our Instructor Antz for leading this great group of divers through this adventure

We would like to introduce our wonderful Part-Time Level 3 crew this weekend who were running through navigation workshops at Lake Pupuke this weekend and what an awesome group of people they are🤿
Every diver has a different story and a different reason for starting their journey with Dive HQ Auckland. From future marine science students and aspiring dive professionals, to busy office workers looking to swap stress for bubbles and connection with like minded people on the weekends, this crew is already building an incredible dive community together.
One student is completing the course while their partner studies on our Full Time Diploma in Scuba, with plans to travel and work around the world together as dive professionals. Another diver is already planning to join our Full Time Diploma next year after discovering a passion for the marine industry. Others are balancing full-time careers during the week and using diving as the perfect reset from busy work life.
Our Part-Time NZ Certificate Level 3 runs weekends through until November this year and is designed for people who want to gain PADI professional-level diver training while still working or studying during the week.
If you’ve been thinking about taking your diving further, changing direction, building confidence, or starting your own underwater adventure we’d love to hear from you.

Woo-Hoo. So great to get a notification this morning that we have three new happy customers and three new Google Reviews!
Thanks to Joss, Ava and Isabel for leaving Ants Kaden and the Dive HQ Store a review. It means a LOT to our family business and our staff.
You could buy online. You could buy from a mate. But when you support Dive HQ Auckland, we continue to support you long after the sale. 💙
Next year we have been in business for 20 Years! That's 20 years of Mike and his crew supporting our local diving communities. Authentic, no filters and all the grey hairs on the head show how much he cares about safety, support and a genuine experience for all. 😉
From genuine customer service and experienced advice, to help with setup, servicing, warranty support and choosing the right gear for your diving goals — we’re here for our divers both in and out of the water.
We support our Diploma students with pay-as-you- go options to help them get the best equipment as they continue on their diving careers.
Every course, gear purchase and Google review helps support a local Auckland family business, our instructors, staff and dive community.
Sunto, Sherwood, Scubapro MARES - just add water, Beauchat and if you see it somewhere else we can get it and price match.
A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support local and trust us with their diving journey. These reviews mean the world to us. 🌊
