HMAS Brisbane with Scuba World

Organiser: Donna Easton. See Member List for email address and phone number.

Diver grades: This dive is suitable for all diver grades.

Equipment: The trip cost includes provision of cylinders (air) and weights. If you use your own tanks they will offer you free air fills after the dive but no diving discount. Other hire gear is available from the shop if needed at additional cost. Divers should carry knife/line cutter, whistle, DSMB, and snorkel. Torches are also a good idea if you are planning on going into the wreck.

Operator: Scuba World, Mooloolaba

Costs: If we can get 5 people signed up the cost is ~$145 for 2 dives, the exact cost will depend on the number of people who register. Once I've registered you with ScubaWorld we are subject to their cancellation policies, so I will ask for full payment before registering you. Once you have paid you will only be refunded if the operator cancels the trip (or agrees to a refund on other grounds), otherwise it is up to you to find a replacement. Bank details to follow by email once you have registered.

Scuba World return to the shelter of the bay during the surface interval to minimise sea sickness opportunities. Snacks will be provided in the surface interval.

Travel: Meeting time is 7:00am and the boat leaves 1 hour later - if you need more time to get organised, then consider arriving earlier. Drive time will be approximately 1.5 hours from Brisbane. If people’s schedules allow we will arrange car pooling for the trip there 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: The boat can take 18 divers. I am not expecting to fill the boat, so there will likely be non-club divers on the boat, but we will buddy up with each other. There will be shop DMs available to guide less experienced divers.

Registration: Sorry for all the billions of questions, but they want all this info up front when I book.

Waitlist: Not likely to happen but if the boat does fill up with others and you want to be put on a BSAC waitlist (in-case of drop outs or more spaces being added) please send me an email.
