The University of New South Wales Underwater Club will be hosting a beginner diving and snorkelling day at Gordon's Bay on Saturday 4th of March.

This is a great opportunity to get in the water if you have not been diving for some time, are a little inexperienced or would like to check out Gordon's Bay. NOTE: you must be certified to dive with us!
If diving isn't your thing, plenty of people will be snorkelling. 

Gordon's Bay is the site of Australia's only underwater nature trail - a 500m loop along the bottom of the bay. Commonly encountered fish include blue grouper, old wife, red morwong, spotted goatfish, senator wrasse, striped sea pike, velvet leatherjacket, crimson banded wrasse, six-spined leather jacket, painted rainbow wrasse, eastern fox fish, common bullseye, mado, garfish, silver sweep and sergeant baker. We often also encounter wobbygongs, port jacksons, cuttlefish, squid, octopus and nudibranchs!

The Underwater Club will be hiring out diving and snorkelling gear. This will need to be done via our online gear portal (https://www.revolutionise.com.au/underwaterclub/gear-hire-portal/).
There are over 20 full sets of diving and snorkelling gear available - first in best dressed. Gear is picked up from the shed on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6-6:30pm. You then fill your own tanks (Dive Centre Bondi does $5 fills for club members). It's ideal to pick up and return your own gear, but I do have some space in my car to do this for a few people should this not be possible for you. Unfortunately, I don't have the car space in my small car to accommodate 20 sets of gear.
