9 Mile Reef (12 Divers)
Organiser: Donna Easton See Member List for email address and phone number.
Diver grades: This dive is suitable for Sports Diver (with appropriate depth progression) and above. It is prone to current and drops to 30m, so best for those who are comfortable in such depths and conditions. You will have to show your suitably "advanced" certification to the operator.
Equipment: Divers must bring full diving kit excluding tanks and weights (other gear can be provided at extra cost). Divers should carry knife/line cutter, whistle, DSMB and reel and snorkel. The operator has stated than an ORANGE SMB is an absolute requirement.
Operator: Tweed Seasports. Website: http://tweedseasports.com
Costs: The cost is $105 for 2 dives, including tanks and weights. I'm asking for the full payment after registration to confirm your place on the trip, and this is not refundable due to the charter nature of the trip (i.e. we have to pay for your spot whether you show up or not). Bank details to follow by email once you have registered. If you pull out of the trip after this it is up to you to find a suitable replacement. Please also ensure you share the fuel bill with those you share a ride with. They will provide nitrox for an extra $20 (you can pay this on the day, but you must tell me so they can prepare!)
You are welcome to bring your own tanks if you prefer and the operator will fill them after the dives, but please tell me ahead of time.
Travel: We will meet at the operator's shop at 11:30 10am. Drive time will be approximately 1.5 hours from Brisbane (but can be longer with beach traffic if the weather is nice!). If people’s schedules allow we will arrange car pooling for the trip down and back. Please let me know if you are happy to drive and how many people (plus dive kit) you think you can fit in your car.
Diving: I have currently reserved the whole boat for our exclusive use. This gives us 12 spots.
Waitlist: If the trip is fully booked on the website and you want to be put on a waitlist (in-case of drop outs or more spaces being added) please send me an email.
