Dive HQ Wellington is a PADI 5 Star dive shop on Waione Street in Petone, Lower Hutt, and it runs courses, sells gear and organises guided dive trips from one place. Its PADI courses run from beginner scuba training up to instructor level, and its Open Water Diver courses start every fortnight. It also runs a breath-hold workshop for people who want to try freediving without tanks. The shop stocks masks, full scuba setups and spearfishing gear. Its dive club goes out five times a week in and around Wellington, mostly on the south coast. The shop says its classes are small, with plenty of pool time. As at 2026 the ProDive DSMB surface safety combo is listed at $128.99. The shop is a good match for people who want to learn to dive in Wellington and then keep diving with the same club.
