Direct From New Zealand’s Divers

What truly sets Oceanz Vital apart is our direct connection to the source.

We work closely with the New Zealand divers who harvest our abalone, maintaining full traceability from the ocean where each catch is collected to how it is handled and processed at peak freshness.

This close partnership allows us to protect quality and integrity at every step. It also supports the sustainability of Abalone fisheries by creating greater value from these responsibly harvested marine resources. Oceanz Vital helps strengthen local livelihoods while reinforcing our commitment to sustainable ocean stewardship.
