The Poor Knights Islands, located off the coast of Northland in New Zealand's North Island, form a marine reserve approximately 23 kilometers from the town of Whangarei. The archipelago consists of two main islands, Tawhiti Rahi and Motukopapapa, surrounded by rocky reefs and underwater canyons that create diverse diving environments. The islands are characterized by temperate waters influenced by the East Auckland Current, which brings warmer subtropical water from the north, supporting a mix of tropical and temperate marine species including kingfish, snapper, and various nudibranch species.
