Flinders-Reef is a small isolated reef north of Moreton Island. It has the highest number of coral species of any subtropical reef system along Australia's east coast. With thousands of species of tropical fish, an array of hard and soft corals, eagle rays, leopard sharks in summer, grey nurse sharks and humpback whales in winter, and the famous Turtle Cleaning Station in only 5m of water it is one of Queensland's most popular open water level dive sites.

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 / Flinders Reef. This is an ADV trip.   
Boat Handlers for the day are Doug & Mark

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

The cost will be around $100. A trip meeting will be organised at the shed 6:30 pm on Thursday April 11th.  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.
