Hi All,

This trip is for Experienced divers (minimum 30 logged dives across 10 different sites, and Advanced cert).

We plan to dive at Curtin Artificial Reef and Bulwer.

Curtin artificial reef is one of the largest reef projects in Australia where over 30 ship wrecks, concrete pipes and cars were sunk to create this artificial reef. Today a large variety of marine life such as tropical fish, turtles, wobbegongs, giant grouper, rays and other schooling fish is visiting the wrecks.

 

Each diver must:

  • Be a current Unidive member, medically fit to dive, who passed the swim test.
  • Have dived in the last 6 months.
  • Have an Advanced certification or equivalent from a recognised agency.
  • Have a minimum of 30 dives at 10 different dive sites.
  • Dive with an SMBcutting device and whistle.
    Note: These items are not supplied, and are required.
  • Ensure that they have all required dive gear.
    Bring your own masksnorkel and fins, as Unidive does not provide these.
    If you need to hire other equipment such as BCD, reg, wetsuit, it is your responsibility to hire these before the trip (typically at the Unidive shed on Thursday night before the trip). There will be no time to sort out gear hire on the day of the trip.
    There's no need to hire tanks and weights, as these are included in the trip and will be loaded from the shed on the day.
  • Dive within their certification and capability.
  • Follow instructions given by the Boat Handlers or the Dive Supervisor.
  • Help out throughout the whole day.
  • Notify the Dive Officer and Trip Organiser of any changes to their personal circumstances as declared in the event registration form.
  • Attend the trip meeting (usually on the Thursday beforehand at 6:30 pm at the Unidive shed).

If you have any questions about the trip, please email organiser, mikaelholmqvist(at)gmail.com.
