Are there any places to snorkel in Auckland?

Are there any good places to snorkel on my own in Auckland?

By "my own" I mean getting my own equipment and going to the place without needing a boat. Sorry for the lack of a better term.

Warning

Russel's answer has an important reminder that I didn't think by the time I was creating this question, because I was thinking about my case: there is no such thing as safe snorkelling alone.

We are a group of experienced divers and by "my own" means that we want to get to the place without needing to hire anyone to take us there. Since we don't have a boat, I was asking for places reachable by land. I wouldn't go only by myself and I suggest that no one does.
