The UNSW Underwater Club is proud to present the annual Great Barrier Reef liveaboard 2020!

This May the UNSW Underwater Club is taking to the high seas aboard the luxurious MV Kalinda for another week of diving, eating, partying and many games of monopoly deal on the Great Barrier Reef! Our captain, Dave, has been navigating these waters for longer than he can remember and he is going to let us in on his top-secret dive locations. Aboard the Kalinda, we will travel to the most pristine and untouched reefs in the outer Great Barrier Reef marine park. These reefs are home to a plethora of weird and wonderful sea critters, including sea snakes, giant clams, walking sharks, nudibranchs and possibly even (but no promises) whales. If this doesn’t wet your neoprene then we will be finishing the trip with a day diving on the SS Yongala, an unforgettable 110m long shipwreck widely regarded as the best wreck dive in the world. As you will be living on a boat for a week this trip is all-inclusive of meals, accommodation and tank fills all for an unbeatable price of between $1000-1300 (exact price TBC).

Further details of this trip will be posted closer to the date, including the date that ticket sales will open.
