Club Facilities

Club House

In 1987 after many years of fund-raising by members, a building located at Yeerongpilly was bought. After the 2011 floods, the house was raised out of the flood level and we now have disabled access. The house contains a small kitchen, toilets, office and a meeting room that is used weekly by members.

As we are a non-profit dive group, all maintenance of the building and equipment is completed by club members volunteering their time and expertise. 

 

 

Diver 1


In 1996, the URGQ became the proud owner of a club dive boat, URGQ Diver 1. The 6.3m rigid-hull inflatable is fully equipped to carry 7 divers for a double dive or nine divers for a single dive. The equipment on board includes a marine radio, first-aid and oxygen kit, GPS, echo-sounder and safety equipment.

Many day, weekend or road trips are organised using Diver 1. Our club boat has been towed up and down the east coast of Australia diving many places along the way. Diver 1 has gone as far north as Bundaberg to dive sites like Lady Musgrave Island and the Cochrane Artificial Reef, and down south past Sydney to dive with the seals and sea dragons. Day trips often include a trip out to the various sites around Moreton Island and Stradbroke Island.

 

Air Compressors 

URGQ owns an Bauer Mariner 250 compressor which delivers 0.25 cubic meters of air per minute. 

If you would like to grab a tank fill, please see the Canteen Officers on any Wednesday night after 7:30pm. They will give you a tag for you to hang on your tank. Take your tank to the compressor shed to be filled.

Please note that only approved Compressor Operators are allowed to use the compressors. Click on the links below to see our approved Compressor Operators lists.

URGQ also owns a portable compressor that we take away with us on diving trips when necessary
