The dives last weekend were nothing short of stunning. We had in excess of 20metre vis on some dives!! The highlight was not the whale, seal, or dolphin sightings, nor was it the big schools of yellowtail, the cuttlefish or turtles but a big pregnant grey nurse which we could see the pup moving in her belly!!

Thank you to everyone who came to our club day at Broughton. For those of you who could missed out you should clear your schedule now for next club day on the 11th August. More details to follow shortly, but we have something else fun planned.
Our instructor candidates have been working hard this week on their IDC. If you are thinking of becoming an instructor our next course starts on 10th November. We will also be hosting a PADI Go Pro night beforehand. Please let us know if you are interested and we will make sure you receive an invite.
There is just one spot left on Em & Adam’s trip to Bali in 35 days! There are only two 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! Dive Adventures gave us a great presentation on Saturday night about the luxury liveaboard we have planned for next year in Palau, also we are planning trips to Kavieng (PNG) and Fiji (for the shark dives). Let us know if you are keen to be on the mail out list for any of these!
