Great to get this email THANKING us for our support of a local golf tournament that helps community projects in Pāpāmoa &
Te Puke. 👍
BLUEHAVEN / PĀPĀMOA ROTARY CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT - 2026

Thank you so much for your continued support to our annual Bluehaven / Pāpāmoa Rotary Charity Golf Tournament, which was held at the Omanu Golf Club on Friday 10th April 2026.
This was the Thirteenth anniversary of the Golf Tournament, and your sponsorship has been instrumental in making this event a huge success. We were able to raise approx. $42,000 this year, which is remarkable considering the economic climate we all face at the present time.
This was a community supported event with the major sponsors being Bluehaven Group and Mitre 10 Pāpāmoa. It was also supported by 30 golf sponsors with the businesses and people of Pāpāmoa and Te Puke, who donated over $10,000 worth of items for prizes, raffles and auctions.
The funds we have raised will be used to support various local youth and general community projects in Pāpāmoa and Te Puke.
Thank you once again for your generosity and continued support. We look forward to your support for the next tournament on Friday 19th March 2027.

Not your average day at the office 🌊

Out in the river clearing weed—one of the many jobs that keeps commercial diving interesting. No two days are ever the same, and that’s exactly why we love it.

Safety is always front of mind, from gearing up properly to working as a tight team on every job. It’s what allows us to get the work done and come back up safely every time.

And while it’s hard work (and yes… pretty cold 🥶), it’s not a bad way to spend the day—working in some of the most beautiful spots New Zealand has to offer.

Different jobs, different challenges, same focus: get it done safely.

Supporting local, one small act at a time ❤️

We picked up a few of these “Family 2 Family” food parcels the other day and it’s something we try to do regularly. Such a simple way to make a real difference for families in our community.

Big shoutout to New World for this awesome initiative—making it easy for all of us to give back and support local food charities.

If you’re heading in-store, consider grabbing one (or a few). Every bit helps 💛

When It Matters Most, Experience Shows ⚓

Salvage work isn’t routine—it’s pressure, precision, and persistence all rolled into one.

Our team has delivered successful salvages across a wide range of vessels, from small craft to large, complex recoveries. Every job is different, but one thing stays the same: it takes experience, skill, and a crew that knows how to respond when it counts.

Sometimes it means long hours. Sometimes it means pushing through at critical moments instead of stepping away—because losing momentum isn’t an option. It’s about digging deep, staying focused, and giving that little bit extra to get the job across the line safely.

And when it all comes together? That moment of success makes every bit of effort worth it.

From the Field to the Interview Seat 🎥⚓

Not every day you swap dive gear for an interview… especially at a Navy base.

Rob recently stepped in front of the camera to talk about the work completed on the HMNZS Manawanui salvage project, as part of an award finalist interview for Bay Underwater Services. Safe to say there were a few nerves going in—but when you know your stuff, that confidence takes over pretty quickly.

From complex underwater operations to maintaining the highest safety standards, Rob spoke to the experience and capability our team brings to challenging projects like this.

We’re proud to see the work being recognised… more to come on this one 👀

ANZAC Day - for the first time in forever, I won’t be attending an Anzac Day service - but I will remember them. The sacrifices they made for us, and our future generations.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them." (From Laurence Binyon’s "For the Fallen").

These Barnacles? 👍 …Those Barnacles? 👎

Some barnacles are right where they belong…
(clinging to shells, doing their thing 🦪)

But the ones hitching a ride on hulls, intakes, and underwater infrastructure?
Yeah… those ones have to go.

From mussels packed with marine growth to heavily fouled intake systems, our team’s been busy getting surfaces back to clean, efficient, and operating the way they should.

Because when it comes to hulls and critical infrastructure:
✔️ Less growth = better performance
✔️ Less drag = more efficiency
✔️ Clean systems = fewer problems

Safe, effective, and a little satisfying too.
