Diving in Vava’u ticked lots of boxes for those of us who love to escape a soggy NZ winter. Warm sea temps – 25 degrees, clear blue water, beautiful underwater structures and plentiful coral and fish life. Add to that, with it being whale season, abundant Humpback whales. From individuals, mother/calf/escort groups, to heat runs all making for some very special moments for us to take home the memories of and savour for months to come.
