Introducing the 2025 Committee! 🥳🐬🤙🏼

Welcome to Wildlife Wednesdays 🐬

Every week we’ll highlight one of the amazing marine species you can expect to see when diving here in Aotearoa NZ.

Starting off with a crowd favourite - te whai keo | the Eagle Ray. If you look close enough, you can find these guys around pretty much every coastal dive spot! They especially like to hang out in the warmer shallow waters where they work up the seafloor in search of crabs and other crustaceans 🦞

Have you spotted one before? Let us know below! 👇🏼

In line with the start of SeaWeek 2024, the annual Fish of the Year competition run by @emr_nz has officially kicked off!! Head over to www.mountainstosea.org.nz/fish to cast your vote.

This year AUUC is supporting the Basking Shark.

Once abundant in some waters around New Zealand, the basking shark, the second largest fish in the world, is now a rare species to spot. In the past, aggregations of hundreds of basking sharks could be found off the coast of Kaikoura and Bank’s peninsula. Unlike their toothy cousins, these sharks are filter feeders, swimming through the water filter feeding zooplankton and crustaceans in the water column. They favour coastal reagions with high plankton abundance and productivity.

The major threats to basking sharks are directed fisheries and incidental bycatch in commercial and artisanal (traditional or small scale) fisheries. Basking sharks are protected under the Wildlife Act 1953. This means it is illegal to hunt, kill or harm basking sharks within New Zealand’s Territorial Sea and Exclusive Economic Zone (200 nm limit around New Zealand).

AUUC has been very proud of Under Pressure but with more than 400 members to take diving we are ready to upgrade. The club put a lot of thought into the setup of this boat when it was bought, and it's proven very practical. Sharing in case anyone is looking for a dependable boat, towable nationwide, fast (150 HP), stable, and able to safely reach all the main spots (Mokes, Astrolabe Reef, Aldermen and many more) without spending a lot in fuel. Please pass this on to anyone you think might want a boat for the summer! #sellboat #underpressure #diveboat
