Hi Buddyboy, Do you have access to a boat? Whale Island has been good to me in the past and of course White Island is one of the best places in NZ(IMHO) so if you ever get an offer to go out there jump on it. 
In terms of shore dives I haven't done much around Whakatane but Rabbit island at Mount Maunganui can produce the goods.

If you do get out to Whale I suggest watching some youtube vids on how to set a burley for snapper.

Good Luck
