Boat diving will be with commerical operator Jaws scuba, who have capacity for 6 x unidive divers with 1 x guide Jaws scuba and skipper 

This trip requires advanced planning so will need two trip meetings to agree on and secure accomodation and diving charter well in advance.

As Bundaberg is 4.5-5 hrs drive (plus rest stops) will be backpackers accommodation in Bundaberg for Friday/Satuday nights. 

We have secured a 4-bed dorm and a 2-bed dorm.

Dive gear will be washed and stored overnight at Jaws scuba.
