Cook Island Divers
|
|
|
There are a number of companies offering dives
and subject to numbers, we would use one or more of these companies. A
one-tank dive is available and the site really depends upon the weather.
If it is rough on one side of the island, we can dive the other side. If
more than 8 divers, we would use another instructor or Dive Company to
accommodate the numbers.
Deep Sea Fishing
|
|
|
Again there are a number of companies and they
will take up to 6 fishermen per boat. We can access 4-5 boats if necessary.
Each fishing trip would take 4-5 hours and operates from the main wharf in
town. |
