Ex HMAS Brisbane - Strawberry Girl

Event information

This event is full.

We're aiming for a big club day with at least 2, if not 3, trips out to the HMAS Brisbane.  There will be an afternoon trip and twighlight / night dive trip.  If there is enough interest we will run a third trip in the late morning (approx 11am).  We can take 4-5 divers on the boat at one time.  

Organiser: Hannah

Registration: When you sign up please answer the questions to stipulate your preference for which dive you wish to do.  If there a trip is over-subscribed, priority will be given to the people who registered first.  

Other: We need at least one person with a boat licence who is willing to be surface watch on the boat for the night dive trip so that Chris can do a dive.  Please remember Chris gives a lot of his time and effort for our benefit so it will be nice to repay the favour so he can have a dive as well.

Diver grades: This dive will be suitable for all grades from ocean diver up. It is preferrable for anyone doing the night dive to be a Sports Diver or above.  However, if an ocean diver (or equivalent) wishes to do a night dive please say so and if there is an experienced diver available to dive with you we will try and make it happen. 

Equipment: Divers must bring full diving kit including tanks and weights, Divers must carry knife/line cutter, whistle, DSMB, and snorkel. As divers need to be independent bring any backups, spares or tools that you might need for your own kit. Strawberry girl has a dry cabin area for storage of dry clothes and personal items.

Food and drink: Divers should bring all of their own food and drink for the day.
