Hi everyone,
For those working, I know taking a full day off may not be practical, so here’s a refined half-day plan (you’re welcome to come just for the picnic):
- 12:30pm on Friday: meet up for a picnic around the picnic tables. I’ll bring some nimbles & soft drinks, BYO more susbstantial lunch.
- 1:30pm: gear up for a dive – BYO dive gear – interstate travellers can rent easily (FrogDive, ProDive, etc).
- From 2pm: shore dive in Clifton Gardens.
I know some people who can do 2.5h or more on a 12L tanks in this shallow site, and I am certainly not one for shortening a photo dive, but I’ll have to jump out around the 3:30pm mark, as I am expected at the dive show to help setup booth.
This is a self-guided dive, although I am sure we’ll be able to organise buddy pairs with locals who know the site very well.
If anyone is keen to do a pre-picnic morning dive feel free to pop-in a reply, as there might be others interested.
Fingers crossed for the weather – I’ll check a couple of days before and will provide an update here.
Tagging a few members with whom we discussed this, a few (greater)Sydney-based members, and a few members I know are coming to Sydney for the show:

We’re an online community, but I love these chances to catch-up in person, so hopefully I can see you there! !
Then there is the dive show – during the following 2 days, come & see us at TUC/DPG’s stand (#304) (floorplan: https://godivingshow.com/anz/floorplan-anz-show/), we’re next to UW Images, opposite Nauticam/Scubapix and near the exhibition of the photo competition winners.
See you there,
Nico
