Did someone say boat dives in Sydney Harbour? Woohooooo

Sign up now for an awesome day of boat diving at two amazing dive sites in Sydney Harbour. We are taking the mighty Didj out for a full day of diving at arguably two of the worlds best dive sites, Old Man's Hat and Blue Fish Point.

If you have been waiting for your chance to do some diving with the club this year, or are a little unsure and may need a helping hand getting in the water, then this is what you've been waiting for. Nice easy dives for beginners who are keen to get wet. Ans while they are easy they are also awesome. 

This is what world renowned Australian diver Bazza (aka The Barnacle) has said about Old Man's Hat, at some point, to someone: "It's bloody greaaaat mate. Total ripper. Best dive I've eva done. Reckon its one of the best in the world. Just ask me mate Macca"

Bazza's dive buddy Macca (aka Bazza's mate) also gives Blue Fish Point rave reviews: "Me mate Jacko came back from Palau goin on an on about the Blue Corner Wall... I said maaate that's not a dive, Blue Fish Point, that's a dive. Just ask Bazza."

Clearly these are some epic dives that you want to tick off your bucket list. You can expect Weedy Sea Dragons, Port Jackson sharks, Wobbegong sharks, Octopuses, Puffer fish, uber cool sponges, and probably some blue fish. Check out these videos of the dive sites:

Where: We will be picking up all divers from the beach at Watsons Bay in front of Doyles: https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Doyles+on+the+Beach+Restaurant/@-33.843,151.2797393,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x6b12ac8a46843cbd:0x27f25c4d5bb4e209!8m2!3d-33.843!4d151.281928

What time:  The first group of divers leaves the beach at 8am sharp. Depending on the number of attendees we will set up a roster and allocate people to the next group if need be. We estimate a 2hr turnaround, so the first group will arrive back from their first dive at 10am (time for coffee), and then head out at 12 for their next dive. The dive roster will be finalised in a followup email.

Cost:    $50 for a double boat dive (these will include a surface interval back at the beach)

Hiring gear: If you do not have your own dive gear and need to hire some you can do so via the club website: https://www.revolutionise.com.au/underwaterclub/gear-hire-portal/ You need to be a payed member in order to hire club gear and to come on the dive. Please read the website carefully as it has all the information that you need to know about hiring, all you need to do is read it. This will be a double dive so you will need 2 tanks and as the club does not fill tanks you will need to get them filled at your local dive shop (we reccomend Dive Centre Bondi who give $5 if you say you are with the club).

Specific details of the dive roster will be sent out closer to the date.

Can't wait to see you all there, raring to go. If you have any questions, read this email again, then if you still have questions, ask away.

Cheers,

UNSW Underwater Club (Organisers: Chris and David)
