Myself, Trevor & (2nd boat handler TBC) are planning to take DownUnder to Gotham City on the 8th September.

Gotham City is north of Moreton Island and is a a spectacular dive sites in Queensland. Featuring a giant granite rock 15 metres tall, 40 metres long and 25 metres wide, with sheer cliffs off all edges. It comes up along a steep wall out of the sandy base at 37 metres, the top of the wall is at around 26 metres and the top of the rock is 22 metres deep. Many divers compare the sight to a small version of the famous Uluru (or Ayers Rock). The rock is decorated with corals, including black coral trees and sea whips, and is a great place to see spotted eagle rays and wobbegong sharks. Snapper, batfish, gropers and barracuda are also regular visitors to Gotham City. Our second dive will most likely be shallower on the famous Flinders Reef.

Please note you need to be experienced + diver for this trip (30+ dives, 10+ sites with Advanced Open Water certification (or equivalent) and dived in the last 6 months) also experience in moderate to strong current, deploy DSMB at depth, safety stop at 5 metres possibly in current and low visibility.

The site can have strong current and is in open water with not protection from waves and weather. The site is deep, divers can stay above 30 metres to enjoy the site. Nitrox is a good option for this site.

Dive gear is your responsibility and as there are a number of trips running concurrently that weekend, gear hire from Unidive may be at best limited. Be prepared.

There will be a trip meeting at the shed the Thursday before, 6th September 6:30pm sharp, for a briefing.

Need helpers to buy snacks, do finances drop/collect tanks, and ensure the winch handle goes back in the tow vehicle passenger side door pocket.

Meeting early at 06:00 and likely to not be finished until 17:00 or once the boat is locked up.

Conditions pending, we do have a plan B for this trip.
