The most awesome thing about New Zealand is their national holidays! Easter here lasts for a whole weekend! No one works on Good Friday and Easter Monday. This gave me just enough time for my last road trip!! I rented a car after work and drove up the east coast of the north island to Poor Nights Islands to finish my PADI Open Water Diver Certification. So after work on Wednesday I headed to Whangarei, which is close to Tutakaka(where the dive boat took off from) To finish my certification, I had to do 4 dives at the Poor Nights Islands, poor me!

The Poor Nights have been rated the number 7 dive spot in the world! Even though I was doing a lot of testing, the dives were awesome!! I met a few rays and more moray eels and passed my test...so I consider that a success!
