Join us for Open Training Night and make the most of our exclusive pool access!

We’re lucky to have the pool from 7:00–8:00 pm, giving all members the opportunity to jump in—whether that’s swimming laps, splashing around, completing your UQ swim test, or fine-tuning your scuba skills.

If you need Unidive gear, please arrive at the shed from 6:30 pm.

What’s Included

To make training accessible for everyone, the club provides:

• Loan gear – FREE
• Tank fills – FREE

Simply come down, grab some gear, and hop in!

All divers must have a buddy. If you don’t have one organised, consider posting in the Facebook group beforehand or find someone on the night. There is also a WhatsApp community group we encourage you to message to find Buddys and discuss what you want to practice tonight. This chat includes many training volunteers who are happy to help you increase your skills.
