Global explorers and divers Jacques Cousteau and Ellis Emmett, separated by decades, both rate the Poor Knights Marine Reserve as providing some of the best diving in our world.
You won’t get a much better recommendation than that!
The great outdoors is something many of us love about New Zealand. Someone who understands this better than most is Ellis Emmett. The avid New Zealand adventurer has been to places may of us could only dream of and has lived life in the exciting lane, exploring over 40 countries extensively, for the best part of 20 years.
His love for life and zest for adventure has taken him to the highest peaks, the deepest oceans, and the remotest places on earth. Ellis is on quest to educate, inspire and motivate the next generation (and some of us between) on the joys of getting out and enjoying life to the max.

Enter to win a seat on the ‘Raft The Mighty Clarence River 7 Day Expedition’ with Ellis Emmett.
Behind the Scenes we talk to the diving duo behind the TV series Descending. Descending is an underwater travel documentary. The destinations and specific locations are underwater or focus on the underwater world.
Unlike a lot of TV documentaries, Descending hinges on a friendship between the two hosts (Ellis Emmett and Scott Wilson) where the main connection is about the common love of SCUBA diving?
The show airs nationally in Canada on the Outdoor Life Network (OLN), in Europe, the U.K. and Oceania on Travel Channel, and will soon start to air in the U.S. on Esquire TV.
Photographer Andy Belcher travels ‘From the Mountains to the Sea’ with adventurer Ellis Emmett.
When Ellis invited my companion Annie and I on an 8-day rafting trip From the Mountains to the Sea my first stop was to see my doctor.
The meeting place was Ellis and Sanna’s beautiful lodge in Cheviot. It’s named ‘The Tree House’ for good reason – two huge tree trunks form the centre of the house and everything is built around it. During the evening 22 enthusiastic paddlers gradually assembled at The Tree House. They were of different ages and nationalities, but at the tender age of 70, I was clearly the senior member of the group by far.

Diving has taught me…
That we as a human species, and the above water world that we live on, is but a tiny fraction of this incredible planet. The diversity of life that we see on land is far exceeded by that beneath the ocean surface. Not only are our lives enriched by our planets oceans – they are dependent on our oceans.
