No serious injuries, thankfully. What a colossal screw up though.

The HMNZS Manawanui - a specialist dive and hydrographic vessel - was conducting a reef survey when it hit the reef on Saturday night.

Reef successfully surveyed. Results: it's there.

Identifying reef: “Yup, it’s a reef.”

Only one way to know!
