|| WHAT'S HAPPENING ||

It's that time of year again, time for the the famous UWC Easter Weekend dive trip! This year we're setting off for a long weekend of superb scuba diving down on the south east coast. The diving at Jervis Bay is excellent, sheltered, and friendly to scuba divers of all experience levels. If you are new to the club and/or scuba diving, this is the perfect opportunity to come along on a trip and meet new diving buddies, get comfortable with your scuba skills, and learn how much amazing fun you can have on our regular club dive trips.

If a full day of splashing in the sea is leaving you thirsty, you can look forward to quenching your thirst on party night! (Theme TBA). Drinks will be provided however those with more discerning tastes are welcome to bring your own.

If you are uncomfortable sharing a house and possibly a room with people you don’t know, this trip is unfortunately not for you.

Diving with the Underwater club is different to diving with a dive shop- we don't have assigned dive guides, and everyone running the dives is a volunteer. You should be comfortable swimming in the ocean unassisted, diving in a buddy pair and diving off a boat to come on this trip. In order to participate in the organised dives, you will need to show us your SCUBA certification card and be competent and confident in your swimming abilities.

You are responsible for organising your own gear. BCDs, tanks, regulators, wetsuits, masks, fins and weights are all available to hire from the club through our gear hire portal. You will need to book, collect, clean, dry and return any hired club gear. 

|| GETTING THERE ||

Everyone is responsible for organising their own transport (including dive gear). Carpooling can be organised for those without their own transport options.
