We also went to New Zealand for one dive. Unfortunately the pics turned out terrible that day because it was cloudy but we got to swim relatively close to Sperm Whales! They did not like divers though...I don't blame them!
Another thing that I was amazed with, was how "low light" it seemed in the reef. Most of the sps corals were in dim light and not too bright. If it wasn't for the sponges, it would have been quite dull. Not ugly, still incredible, but not as bright as I expected.
