Not many people get the chance to explore the pristine waters around the Kermadec Islands but Royal New Zealand Navy members got to do just that.
The Royal NZ Navy diver shared a photo of a diver taking advantage of the magnificent surroundings during some downtime while the HMNZS Canterbury was moored near the islands earlier this year.
"Can you spot the diver? A Navy diver recreationally dives off #HMNZSCanterbury during Hands to Bathe while she was moored in the Kermadec Islands earlier this year," the Twitter post said.
The photo was taken by Lorna Doogan, a snorkel lead for the Experiencing Marine Reserves trip to the Kermadecs. The organisation leads snorkel trips to teach people about marine conservation.
