Cancellations/Postponements
Events are weather dependent. Stay updated by checking MTSW Facebook event listings for any cancellations, postponements, or location changes.
A note on water quality- We are keeping a close eye on the situation at Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant and the impact to Wellington's South Coast. As this event is taking place in Wellington Harbour, there are currently no concerns to water quality due to the Moa Point spill. As well monitoring the impact of this spill, please be assured we are always monitoring water quality ahead of snorkel events. Often, after heavy rain, water quality can dip due to runoff via stormwater pipes. This affects not only visibility, but in-water safety. MTSW only ever operates when LAWA shows a green (safe to swim) water quality rating.
