Diving New Zealand – Goat Island

10,000 Birds

Diving has taken me to places like Belize, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Egypt, places that coincidentally are fun to bird. Goat Island, off New Zealand’s Northland, was an amazing diving location without any birds. Kina, or Sea Urchin. I was a diver before I was a birder. But that is actually by the by, because diving is its own reward.
