About this site
D'Urville Island sits at the northern tip of the South Island of New Zealand, separating the Marlborough Sounds from Tasman Bay and Cook Strait. The island's coastline is exposed to strong tidal flows funneling between Cook Strait and the Sounds, and dive sites here are typically reached by boat from Marlborough Sounds settlements such as French Pass. Paiges, as a named location on the island, would be one of these coastal spots along its rocky shoreline.
