Diving during the week has been superb!! The water is blue and clean, some of the best vis we have seen in months. Some days it has been warmer in the water than out! Tides are later in the day as we approach the weekend and we have a night dive scheduled for Sunday.

It is club day this weekend! The double boat dive to Broughton is almost full so if you are keen to come give us a call. It s going to be fun as we will be swimming to shore for the surface interval! In the evening we will be having dinner at Sandbars and a presentation from Dive Adventures about some of the trips we have in mind for 2013.

We wish our Instructor candidates the best of luck for their PADI IDC which starts this Saturday!

There is just one spot left on Em & Adam’s trip to Bali in 35 days! We still have spots on the Tonga (Eua) trip in September with Rowan, it will be a combination of snorkelling/freediving & SCUBA. Great whales and cave system too!

If you cant come with us to warmer waters and are finding it too cold to dive come and have a look at Emma’s new drysuit – the Scubapro Everdry 4 – with a retail price of just $1399 you can be warm and not miss out on some of the fantastic conditions we get during winter!

Have a look at the new Lets Go Adventures Specialty package. For just $1250 you can complete 5 specialty courses with a saving of $520!!

Last weekend was fantastic diving. Sharks at Broughton, Seals at Cabbagetree, sightings of humpback whales and hammerheads during transit, lots of life on both the OAKLAND and plane wrecks and to top it off the deep course divers & Tec gang enjoyed the 12m vis and 17 degrees. Night dives this week have had excellent visibility and the forecast promises the swell and wind will drop off in time for the weekend.

If you have not already put your name down for club day next weekend don’t miss out. We will be doing a double dive at Broughton Island – bring a picnic lunch as we will be going ashore for our surface interval at a special price for club members who book online. Then later that evening we will be having a presentation from Dive Adventures on what trips we have in store for travel in 2013.

Talking of travel – it is less than a month before our freedivers go to beautiful Tufi. There is only 1 spot left so call us now if you want to escape the winter!! If you prefer to blow bubbles there is also one spot left on Adam & Em’s trip to Bali. We still have spots on the Tonga (Eua) trip in September with Rowan, it will be a combination of snorkelling/freediving & SCUBA. Great whales and cave system too!

We have the new Go Pro Dive housings and the GoPro HD HERO2-Outdoor Edition in stock. They have proved very popular and we are seeing some great dive footage. Have a look at some footage of diving the plane wreck.
