For over a decade, our team has been at the forefront of marine pest management in New Zealand. At Diving Services NZ, we pride ourselves on developing and applying practical, cost-effective tools and methods that deliver tangible results.

We have actively contributed to numerous marine invasive species treatment programs across the country—from Bluff to Whangarei. Our past projects include targeted control efforts against Didemnum vexillum and Sabella spallanzanii (Mediterranean fanworm), initially focused in Lyttelton, Auckland, and Nelson. Currently, we manage several small-scale marine pest management programs in partnership with various regional councils.

Diving Services NZ has pioneered effective in-water treatment solutions such as vessel and structure encapsulation, as well as targeted treatments for salmon farm infrastructure. We have successfully encapsulated vessels up to 115 meters in length and treated nearly one hundred mid- to large-sized vessels. Our team has also wrapped wharf piles from Auckland to Bluff, continually innovating practical methods to combat marine pests in challenging marine environments.

Effective marine biosecurity requires a team that is not only experienced but fully committed to delivering the right outcomes. Unfortunately, many vessel owners and operators continue to experience substandard inspections and treatments within New Zealand, resulting in unnecessary costs and delays.

We assist clients throughout the consent process, provide hull treatments, conduct MPI inspections, and prepare detailed reporting. Additionally, we offer DOC-approved inspections for vessels operating in sensitive regions such as Fiordland and the sub-Antarctic Islands.
