Diving at Okorotere Island is very sheltered with max depth 18m and plenty to see in the shallow water. The rocks are well covered with encrusting sponges, orange and pink golfball sponges, and eclonia kelp. There are many permanent sand dagger, moki, blue maomao, rays, and crayfish living in the protected area with schools of mackerel, kahawai, kingfish and koheru visiting in the summer. It is one of the more crowded dive sites in the area, often meaning one of the better as well.
