|| WHAT'S HAPPENING ||

It’s back.

It’s BIGGER!

And It’s BETTER THAN EVER!

The UNSW Underwater Club is returning to Narooma to dive the world renowned Montague Island.

Montague Island is teeming with underwater life. Everything from grey nurse sharks, port jackson sharks, schools of kingfish, rays, turtles and more port jackson sharks are found here in abundance. But what really makes this place special is the 1000+ adorable, energetic and highly interactive fur seals that call this island home.

Did we mention we’ve also secured a sweet, sweet, beach house which is perfect for post-dive beach chills, beers and sunsets (or sunrises if that’s more your thing). All levels of skill welcome, as long as you have an Open Water SCUBA cert.

|| GETTING THERE ||
Narooma is scenic 5-hour drive south of Sydney, or a grueling 3 day walk. Up to you, but as it is a long weekend, we recommend hitting the road outside of peak times so a 5 hour drive doesn’t become 9. If you’re not up for the walk, we will coordinate some carpooling.
