I was lucky enough to stumble upon Terry from  Reef to Sea, with only a couple of days left of my holiday. He runs a snorkelling operation that takes snorkellers of any experience level outside the lagoon by boat, to see the wonders of the open ocean. My girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed herself, even though it was her first time snorkelling.</font></p> <p><font color="#400080">Terry is also available to take spearfishing charters. Places to visit would be the FADs, and some of the numerous dropoffs around the island. The targeted species are Dogtooth Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi mahi, Barracuda, and there is always the possibility of Marlin. </font> </p> <p><font color="#400080">I have misplaced the number for Terry, but he can be contacted by email: </font> <a href="mailto:reef2see@oyster.net.ck?subject=Inquiry from Quentins website."> reef2see@oyster.net.ck</a></td> </tr> </table> </center></div> <p> </p> <p align="center"><font face="Helvetica" size="4" color="#400080"><u><b>Where I dive</b></u></font></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Helvetica" size="2" color="#400080">Almost every weekend, and quite often after work, I will go for a spearfish somewhere around Kapiti Island. This island is a nature reserve, with access to it by permit only. It also has a substantial marine reserve, which is doing a great job of restocking the rest of the island. Kapiti is 7km off shore, and as such is only a quick ride out by boat.
