General information

Established as Splash Gordon’s Dive Shop 1998 and later renamed to Dive Wellington in 2010, we have been supplying Wellington and the surrounding area with quality diver training and retail for years.

Our location is amazing, right across the road from Taputeranga Marine Reserve and less than a five minute boat ride to the wreck of the F69 Frigate Wellington. Gear up in the shop and walk across the road for some of Wellington’s best diving. All this within a ten minute drive from Wellington’s Central City. We believe we are Wellington's most active dive shop, because we dive more. The only Wellington dive store with it's own charter boat.

Our boat " Southern Comfort " has charters most weekends. We have a very active dive club that dives 3 times per week.
