Welcome to Drowning Prevention Darts — Where Kiwi Darts Meets Big-Stage Energy
Welcome to Drowning Prevention Darts (DPD) — the fastest-growing darts community in New Zealand and the only platform combining live NZ darts, exhibition events, player development, and life-saving water safety education.
If you’re here, you probably love darts… or you’re about to.
DPDarts started as a wild idea:
What if we built a platform that grows a sport we love AND helps save lives?
A year later, that idea has turned into one of the fastest-growing sports communities in Aotearoa, with nearly 1 million organic views, Awesome local events, national exhibitions, and a livestream that’s become the place to watch NZ’s top players rise through the ranks.
Darts is exploding worldwide and we’re only just warming up!
What We Do
We Stream NZ’s Best Darts to the World
From the DPNZ Pro Tour, New Zealand Darts Council events to national and local exhibitions, we showcase the biggest moments, the rising stars, and the next Kiwi legends — live and free on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch.

Players like Haupai Puha, Ben Robb, Jonny Tata, Nicole Regnaud, Caleb Hope, Mark Cleaver, John Hurring and more get a stage they deserve, match after match. This is the pathway to the PDC World Championships, the World Series of Darts, The Lakeside and the brand-new ANZ Premier League. This is how Kiwis make the World stage!
If you're a darts fan, this is where the journey starts.
