At last, a liferaft for the average Boatie.... Take a look at the latest offering from HAF marine safety at an amazing price point to make it accessible to more of us. We think it is a great idea for when everything goes wrong, and it will make it much easier for us to come and find you.

Another multi agency training opportunity between Tauranga Volunteer Coastguard and Aerocool Rescue Helicopter - ensuring all our wet crew skills are up to date just incase we ever need to do the real thing 🚁 🛥️

If there is ever an opportunity to train with our fellow emergency partners is a great learning opportunity for our volunteers ‼️

Huge thanks to Colin one of our volunteer wet crew members who organised the visit. Great to see the club getting behind what we do here at Coastguard, visiting the radio room, Sealegs and Tect Rescue, they were very impressed with the Unit 🛥️ 🌊 ☀️ 🛟

On water training for Alpha crew.
Missing diver scenario.
Calculating drifts and carrying out a search. Expanding box search successfully located the person.
Patient retrieval and care is all a part of it.
We keep training to make sure we are efficient, effective and safe. And a beautiful day to be out on the water too.
Nice work team.

➡️ Meet Craig Morris - TVCG Radio Operator

➡️ Length volunteering: 6 years

➡️ What inspired me: I joined Coastguard NZ as an employee in July 2020 as People Manager (a national role situated in Mount Maunganui). I thought it important that I have experience in, or at least knowledge of, the operational aspect of the business, so joined the Eastern Region Communications shortly after joining CNZ.

➡️ I obtained my MROC qualification, and qualified as a Duty Officer in CNZ Eastern Region. I have since joined Tauranga Coastguard as a Radio Operator.

➡️ What do I enjoy most about Volunteering:
I have a bit of an altruistic part to my personality and have volunteered for the best part of the last 20 years. I enjoy working with others who share my values and I particularly like assisting members of the public. At the moment, I volunteer for Coastguard as a Radio Operator, for Tauranga Hospital in the Emergency Department (A&E) and until recently for Community Patrol.

➡️ Life Beyond Coastguard
Rosemary and I have 2 sons and 2 Grandchildren. One son lives in Australia with the Grandchildren and the other lives in Japan. We enjoy a very quiet home life.

➡️ Volunteering means a great deal to me – the interactions with other volunteers, the public, and staff are great (we volunteers are well looked after by Tania). I enjoy going the extra mile for boaties who come to HQ by answering their questions and providing advice.

➡️ If I found someone interested in volunteering for Tauranga Coastguard I would tell them to come join the Team 😊

Thanks Craig, we appreciate your calm and steady nature and all that you do for our Unit 🙏🌊🛟☀️ 🚤 🛥️

If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering give us a call on (07) 578 5579 we’d love to show you around

On water training with Delta crew. High line and direct medic transfers from the Aerocool Rescue Helicopter. Conditions were a bit sloppy so great training with new learnings every time.
We keep training so we don’t lose the skills.
Top work team.
