Event information
This event is full.
Hi All,
Gary Jnr has arranged a dive trip to Lady Musgrave and surrounding Reefs staying on the new Pontoon being built forLady Musgrave Lagoon, and is opening it up to the club
This is a Liveaboard option with day trips on their vessel Underworld (the boat we dived off in January).
Unfortunately due to supply issues and weather, the pontoon wasn't able to be in place for the original dates. We have had to re-scheduled the trip again.
Details:
Whilst the pontoon can accommodate 32 people this trip is capped to 20 Divers so we will can do 3 dives a day off Underworld on the outer reefs without having to return to Musgrave to refill 3rd cylinder.
Non-Divers are welcome but cannot go on the dive vessel Underworld (cost & trip options TBA)
A booking has been made for:
- Re-scheduled Dates: Friday 8 October 6:30am – Monday 11 October 2021 5:00pm
We have booked the Pontoon and diving etc but it is up to individuals to book their own travel and accommodation arrangements pre- and post- trip due to the departure/arrival times ex-Bundaberg. **We suggest that you organise to stay at Bundaberg or Bargara on Thursday night 7th, due to the early morning departure on Friday morning.
In Summary:
- Cost: includes 4 days diving (14 dives total), accommodation and meals:
- $1630 pp staying in bunk style below decks.
- $1600 pp Twin Share to stay in private glamping (Double Swag) accommodation on upper deck
- $1900pp Single Share to stay in private glamping (Double Swag) accommodation on upper deck
- $990 pp for non-diver
