Nelson's position on the island makes the venue a natural stop for divers travelling between the North Island's main centres.

New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea, which suits anyone planning time in the water. Local cooking leans on lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish, so a post-dive meal is easy to arrange. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country.
