🔙 Throwback Friday — Floating Warning Signs Project (2013)

A look back to 2013, when our Bay Underwater Services NZ Limited team first designed, fabricated, and installed floating warning signs on a local lake.

From the initial design and fabrication through to installation and inspection, our team managed the entire process — ensuring the signs were robust, clearly visible, and safely anchored for long-term performance.

This project was a great example of how we combine underwater expertise with practical engineering solutions to enhance safety and functionality in our waterways.

More than a decade later, it’s rewarding to look back on projects that continue to make a difference.

🌊 Tough conditions, tougher team! 💪

Our Bay Underwater Services crew have been working outside NZ waters carrying out a full hull clean on a vessel absolutely covered in huge barnacles 🦪. These stubborn growths can seriously impact vessel performance and fuel efficiency — but removing them was no small job!

With sea conditions pushing close to our safe diving limits and constant pressure from the client to “get finished,” our team put in long days and long nights out on the moana to get the job done safely and efficiently.

A huge shoutout to our hardworking commercial divers — your professionalism, endurance, and commitment to health & safety never waver, even in the toughest conditions. 👏

It’s important to us to give back locally, and we’re proud to support an organisation that makes such a real difference every day.

🌊 Contamination Diving – A Tough but Essential Job 🌊

Contamination diving isn’t your everyday dive. Our team at Bay Underwater Services NZ Limited are trained and certified to work in some of the most challenging underwater environments.

🦺 Health & Safety first – Before any dive, strict safety protocols are in place, from detailed risk assessments to specialised PPE, ensuring our divers are protected at every stage of the job.

🤿 What’s it like for the diver? Imagine working in zero visibility, fully sealed in protective gear, relying on training, teamwork, and clear communication topside. It’s physically and mentally demanding – but our divers know the importance of the job and take pride in doing it right.

✅ These specialised dives keep critical infrastructure running safely and protect our communities.

We’re proud of our experienced team who take on these tough conditions and deliver professional results every time.

Contamination Diving – Reservoir Inspection

This week our Bay Underwater Services NZ Limited team has been undertaking a specialist inspection inside a reservoir. Contamination diving requires strict protocols and procedures to keep both our divers and the surrounding environment safe.

Health and safety is always our top priority. Our divers are fully trained and certified in contamination diving, ensuring every inspection is carried out to the highest standards.

It’s a privilege to provide our expertise to safeguard New Zealand’s essential water infrastructure.

🔙 Throwback Friday — Fanworm Collection with MPI (2019)

Back in 2019, our Bay Underwater Services NZ Limited team worked alongside MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries) collecting samples of Mediterranean fanworm (Sabella spallanzanii).

Each specimen was carefully bagged, tagged, and delivered to the client within the required timelines — a process that needed precision, teamwork, and strict biosecurity protocols.

Fanworm monitoring plays an important role in protecting New Zealand’s marine environment. This invasive species can outcompete native marine life, alter ecosystems, and impact aquaculture and marina operations if not managed properly.

It’s great to look back at projects like this that highlight the diverse and important work our team takes on beneath the surface — helping protect and preserve New Zealand’s waterways.

We’re proud to continue supporting the Cancer Society NZ – Waikato/Bay of Plenty branch with another donation. 💛

The work they do right here in our local community is so important – providing care, support, and information for those affected by cancer, and funding vital research.

It’s a cause close to many hearts, and we’re grateful to play a small part in helping them make a difference across the Waikato and BOP.
