Weather checks

The chain of 24 islets that make up the Poor Knights is 23 kilometres offshore. Sometimes the trip can be bumpy, but the Islands always provide a sheltered site. The islands have their very own micro-climate, and you will be amazed how often the mainland gets the rain - and out there, we simply don't.

The Islands are a wonderland, and we will do our very best to ensure that we deliver a Perfect Day for you!

At times we can travel if the conditions are uncomfortable, but never if it is unsafe. The Islands offer shelter with 200-metre-high cliffs, and we anchor where it is calm. We don't want your day to be compromised.

We run trips to the Poor Knights Islands 364 days of the year unless weather conditions prevent us from going. We have a strong eye on the coast up here, and often the pattern is different out at the Islands.

Our experienced crew make the call on the morning of the dive day, generally, around 9 am and we understand the disappointment of a weather call that halts the trip. 

Our team have a strong process and protocol in place for making the decision to go, or not go, so trust us - we know this stretch of water more than most.
