Event information

This event is full.

Cherubs-cave is a true jewel among Brisbane's dive sites located on the east side of Moreton Island. It's a hidden cave which is surrounded by rocky gullies and smaller caves and measures around 15 by 20 m in the accessible area and about the same in the inaccessible part. With 20-30 m depth this site is for the more experienced divers to enjoy.

China Wall with its depth to 30 m is more suitable for experienced divers. It is dominated by thick layer of broad leafed kelp. The outstanding feature is a tall vertical granite outcrop with a 2 m wide swim-through at the top. This site has numerous caves, gutters, walls and a very pretty rock arch. In and around the kelp beds expect to see abundant reef fish, bullseyes, yellowtail, trevally, kingfish, blue gropers, wobbegongs and turtles.

Weather permitting, we are seeking to put together a dive team of no more than nine divers for a double dive to China Wall / Cherubs cave. This is an ADV+ trip.   
Boat Handlers for the day are Lock & Mark

Each team member is expected to assist with the day's operation.  Please nominate a task.

The cost will be around $100. Nitrox is available for extra cost, please tick the box when you sign up. A trip meeting will be organised at the shed 6:30 pm on Thursday May 16th.  Gear hire is the responsibility of each individual diver; except weights and tanks which will be loaded on the day (as a group). 

Each diver must:

Be a current Unidive member and be medically fit to dive.

Dive with an SMB/safety sausage, cutting device and whistle. Note: These items are NOT supplied. Safety sausage and shears can be purchased from Unidive.

Bring their own mask, snorkel, and fins as Unidive does not hire them.
