The tides this week are early and as the week progresses getting BIG! We are looking forward to seeing you all at the next club day on 20 Oct when we will be doing big drift from Fly to the pipeline. Have a look below for the plan.
So far we have had a great response to the overseas trips we have planned for the coming 12 months. Given our Fiji and Palau trips have booked out if you are keen to travel with us we encourage you to put your deposits and forms in soon to avoid missing out. Below you will find some information about Truk and Kavieng, with information about our trip to dive the Mighty Coolidge, Vanuatu in May 2013 being sent out next week.
We have noticed the Christmas decorations starting to appear in the shops so we have slowly started to bring in some great new products (you can leave some hints for Santa). For a basic set of scuba we have a great deal available from Subgear. For just $1999 you get an air integrated computer, regs, BCD, suit, boots, mask, snorkel, fins, travel and reg bags! See here for more details
We have the new tide charts in the shop now, so come and visit us to collect yours. Don’t forget you will need to add an hour due to daylight savings.
