Who we are…

Commercial offshore diving

We have more than forty years of commercial marine experience, encompassing offshore oilfield (diving, dive supervising, barge superintendent), steel shop management, project management of a 60m super yacht build and more than twenty years of marine construction in the north.

…and how we got to here

On the way to work at sea

Our lives seem always to be governed by the tides and we are never far from either a project, a fish or a swim.

These life and work experiences combine in a practical approach to each project, with thought always given to function, usability, longevity and aesthetic value in the landscape.

Milford Sound circumnavigation voyage of New Zealand.

Recreationally, we have sailed, dived, fished and motored our way around New Zealand. We completed a mid-winter circumnavigation of the country, including Stewart Island in our converted cray fishing vessel.

We lived onboard this boat, with our young daughter and spent evenings and weekends cruising the Hauraki Gulf and beyond. Around this time, Robert managed the build of a 60m steel-fabricated exploration super yacht.
