Tweed River Rescue Skills

Hi all

The Tweed offers a nice sheltered environment to refresh some skills or just for a little tootle up the river (but not too far please!) looking to see whats under those rocks and if you can find the bathtub and Buddha again. Average depth is around 8m so it's perfect for all grades of divers. You can either do a drift dive or just a normal cruise from the entrance stairs. 

We are planning on doing some Sports Diver Rescue Training, but anyone else is welcome to come along and participate in rescue drills or do your own thing. This is a good opportunity for any Dive Leader trainees who need to do Rescue Management Scenarios.

Date & Time: Meeting time TBC depending on who signs up and what you want to do. If you are just joining us to go diving high tide is 11am QLD time (12pm NSW time). You know how much time you personally need to kit up :-)

Meeting Point: The car park near the stairs, Coral Street, Tweed Heads, NSW (see map on the 'Resources' page of the website)

Organiser: Laura Bellis and Gavin Wills
