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.
