Hey everyone!

We are planning a big WELCOME DIVE on the 14th of August to the Seaway and we want you to come along!

This will be a shore dive and is ideal for Open Water divers and above as well as those who want to shake-off their Covid-lockdown dust. 

As divers are usually hungry after adventuring and exploring, we'll have a BBQ lunch after the dive.

 

To make this as smooth as possible, we need

- surface watch

- helpers who are willing to assist with the BBQ

- someone to tow the gear trailer

- advance people who are happy to lend a helping hand to less experienced, 

 

Costs will be around the $30-40 (incl. tanks, weights and carpooling) and since it's a midday high tide, it'll be a super relaxed day out :-)

 

For all who are keen, we will meet the Thursday night beforehand at 6:15pm at the shed for a pre-dive brief.

 

Each diver must:

  • Be a current Unidive member, medically fit to dive, who passed the swimming test
  • Have dived in the past 6 months.
  • Have an open water certfication 
  • 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.
  • Dive within their certification and capability.
  • Maintain 1.5m physical distancing as far as reasonably practicable.
  • Follow instructions, including the COVID-safe instructions, given by the trip organiser, the operator and covered in Unidive COVID-safe plan
  • Agree that contact details of participants will be provided to Qld Health upon request for the purpose of contact tracing
  • Help out throughout the whole day.
  • Be able to attend a trip meeting on the Thursday beforehand at the shed.
