Boat Handlers Captain Dave Bizant and .....

Weather permitting, we are seeking to put together a dive team of up to nine divers for a double dive to Flinders Reef. 

You will need to be comfortable with diving from a small boat in potentially rough conditions, in current and can tow/deploy an SMB from depth. The dive day is long starting at 6:00 am at the Unidive shed to load the boat and finish around 6:00 pm. 

This trip is organised by volunteers and each team member is expected to assist with the day's operation.  

The cost will be around $100. A trip meeting will be organised at the shed 6:30 pm on Thu 23 August. No gear is provided and gear hire is the responsibility of each diver except weights and Tanks which will be loaded that day. 

Each diver must:

• Be a current Unidive member.
• Dive with an SMB, cutting device and whistle. Note: These items are NOT supplied. SMB and shears can be purchased from Unidive.
• Provide their own mask, snorkel, and fins as Unidive does not hire them.
• Dive within their certification and capability.

If this is of interest, then sign up for the adventure. We will review and notify the dive team on Tuesday 21st August. The event numbers have been set to no more than nine (max divers), so we can review the dive team’s history and have a couple of "reserve divers" if someone cancels. If you miss out, don't worry as there will be more opportunities over the winter to get to Flinders reef and beyond.  ðŸ˜Š

Flinders Reef

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.
