Fish don't ride bikes
Today we recovered 35 street cones, 2 scooters and 2 ONZO bikes from the harbour. Fish don't ride bikes or use scooters, so please stop chucking them in the ocean!
ONZO NZ and Uber/JUMP scooters, and now Flamingo Scooters, have us on board helping them recover their lost bikes and scooters that have ended up in the ocean.
*** PLEASE DON'T *** throw these great public amenities in the water.
Two divers Geoff Miller and Matthius Rolfius joined us to recover all of these items and 4 shore team assisted in the shore recovery - Eddie Van Halen Howard, Stefanos Aslanidis, Chris Fink and William Taankink. This was an incredible cleanup effort in only 70 minutes in the water.
Thanks always to the incredible Alex Humberstone for the music - Alex H his music is second to none.
"Never too late" = track name.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
