He brings it in from the States. Site link below. Hopefully http://www.dredgenz.co.nz/ Cheers ;)

The nozzles & power jets do appear rather pricey even compared to if you bought your own from keen & brought it in to the country your self including the dollar difference & freight. He looks to only have the keen 2" dredge & compressor & diving kit set up. JW :)

His dredge stuff is pricey you're right, but I know from seeing it myself it is made to last. Especially his flares and floats etc. Very heavy duty. Some stuff would be easier to bring in yourself, as long as you don't get pinged by customs for GST and all the othe Bulls**t taxes that they throw at you. They ANNNNNNNNOY me! LOL If you ask him I'd say he would be able to get a lot of the stuff on the Keene catalogue into New Zealand. Cheers!
