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.
Boat Handlers for the day are Captain TBD and First Mate TBD
Weather permitting, we are seeking to put together a dive team of up to nine divers for a double dive to Flinders Reef. This is an OW trip and we'd really like to provide an opportunity for less experienced divers to get some more experience, so we've giving priority to those who DO NOT qualify for EXP trips, especially those who've never been on the club boat before.
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 11 October . 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:
If this is of interest, then sign up for the adventure. We've set the sign-ups to allow more than the maximum numbers so that we can firstly give preference to the less experienced and secondly have some reserves. We will review the list and notify the dive team ahead of the trip meeting. If you miss out, don't worry... just find a willing boathandler and organise a trip to go another day! 😊
