Event information

This event is sold out.

To register for this trip you must have a minimum of 30 logged dives AND have completed your PADI Advanced open water diver or equivalent.

 

Oooooohhhhhhhh yeah it's that time of year again- time for South West Rocks and an Underwater Club trip to the best dive site in NSW.... Fish Rock!

It's a 125 metre underwater cave in the best grey nurse shark aggregation site in Australia, with rays, wobbies, countless nudis and so much other marine life that we can't even comprehend describing it. There's a reason why this was our most popular trip of 2017.

Not convinced? See for yourself:

 

Unfortunately for some, the dive at Fish Rock is both deep and cavey, and as such is only accessible to more experienced divers. As a result, to register for this trip you must have a minimum of 30 logged dives AND have completed your PADI Advanced open water diver or equivalent.

 

|| COST ||
$195 – includes accommodation from Thursday-Sunday night, all meals from Friday breakfast- Monday breakfast and party night (theme TBA). Drinks will be provided but don't expect anything too fancy- if you have particular tastes you're welcome to BYO.

|| WHEN ||
29 March-2 April.

  We have the accommodation booked until the 6th and attendees will have the option to extend their stay and dive some more throughout the week (the mid-semester break) - we certainly will be.

|| WHERE ||
South West Rocks
ARAKOON National Park

|| GEAR ||
You are responsible for organising your own gear. BCDs, tanks, regulators, dive computers, wetsuits, masks, fins and weights are all available to hire from the club through our gear hire portal*. (https://www.revolutionise.com.au/underwaterclub/gear-hire-)

*Limited availability on all gear hire
If you need anything else you can hire it from the local dive shop there or hire stuff out for the weekend from any dive shop in Sydney

|| DIVING ||

Boat Dives:
$25 each, 1/3 the cost of a commercial operation! Pick up from Trial Bay Beach, short run out to Fish Rock. We will aim for two dives per person/day from Friday onwards, dependent on weather and conditions. Tank fills aren't included and will be purchased at the local dive shop, expect to pay about $10/fill.

VERY IMPORTANT:

The cave is pitch black in sections, as such it is necessary that everybody have THEIR OWN torch- they can be rented from the dive shop at SWR or from a number of dive shops in Sydney if you don't have one. The same goes for your OWN dive computer. No computer, no diving.

|| GETTING THERE ||
We will try our best to organise car pooling for those that don't drive

|| DIETARY REQUIREMENTS ||
Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements

|| SLEEPING ||
Beds are assigned on a first paid first served basis. If you are not assigned a bed please bring something comfy to sleep on like a sleeping bag, air mattress, tent, or whatever you fancy.
