|| When ||
Friday 29th Sep - Mon 2nd Oct
|| Where ||
Broughton Island
|| Cost ||
This will be a little more costly than most trips. We always try to make trips as cheap as possible but for Broughton we have to cover transfers and campsites for each person attending. And this year you get an extra day over the long weekend. But EVERY dollar is more than worth it.
Tickets are $170 per person and this includes:
- camping permits for TWO nights on the island
- boat transfers to and from the island
- a campsite at the Nelson bay caravan park on Friday night
- all breakfast, lunch and dinner whilst on the island
- booze for the party night
- being on an island
- free juice
|| Diving ||
$20 per boat dive
|| Gear ||
You are responsible for sorting out your own gear.
The club hires out eveyrthing now, and given its a 3/4 day trip we recommend getting everything from the club if you need to hire gear.
N.B. Broughton Island is an island. There is no dive shop. We can not fill tanks. Your dives are limited by the number of tanks you bring. We are trying to sort out the logistics of getting extra tanks but we recommend everybody take at least 2 tanks each. More on this later.
|| BOOKINGS ||
Bookings will open at 8pm on Monday 18th.
|| GETTING THERE ||
We will try our best to organise car-pooling for everyone to Nelson Bay on Friday. Everybody will then camp the night at Nelson Bay Caravan Park and get up (early) the next day, head to the dive shop and take the dive boat over to the island, departing from the wharf on Saturday morning at 6am. A return trip will run at about 2pm on Monday. Sorry folks but no getting in late or leaving early.
