Wiakawa Swim Spot
A very sheltered spot that is normally only used when weather prevents diving elsewhere. It is surrounded by boating exclusion buoys so it is very safe.
Many small blennnies and starfish hide under the rocks that surround the floating swim platform and provide some brief entertainment.
