  Good morning everyone,
  

  With the new year and summer almost upon us and we all start diving more and more  it is a good idea to keep your knowledge expanding as well as your abilities. 
  

  We got enough interest with the EOI so we have booked in to complete the rescue diver course!! 

  This training is conducted through one of the top training organisations in Sydney, a recognised 5 star PADI training organisation.

  To be able to do the course you need to:
  

  • Be 15 years or older
    
  • Have a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Certification (or have a qualifying certification from another organization)
    
  • Be trained and current for First AId and CPR within the previous two years (Check out Emergency First Response CPR and first aid courses).
  • You will also need to bring a Safety sasuage, Whistle, dive knife and pcoket mask

  
  

  We ahve chosen to go with Frog Dive scuba diving based in willoughby and the course will be around the $425 mark. Please book with Frog dive over the phone and let them know you are a DOUTS member and UTS student to receive a discount!!
  

  The course will involve two days of diving on the 3rd and 4th on April for 8hr each day starting at 8am in Ramsgate. There is also a theory night on the Friday the 2nd.
  

  All students must have a CPR Certification before the start of the course.

  Jervis Bay Dive Weekend
  

  
  

  Scuba dive the crystal clear waters of Jervis Bay Marine Park and Booderee National Park, located in the Shoalhaven only 3 hours south of Sydney, NSW. 
  
  There is something for everyone here, from reefs, drop-offs, caves, crevices, archways and gutters.  Come and see soft corals and sponge gardens, weedy sea dragons, red Indian fish, large schooling fish, plus many other vertebrates and invertebrates.

  
  

  Previously we have had over 20m vis, seen grey nurse sharks and seals, and had perfect weather!!
  

  
  
  If you are looking for one of the most diverse diving experiences in a pristine environment, then this is the trip for you.

  
  
  You will be based in Callala Bay for the weekend.  The house has a kitchen for self-catering and there are supermarkets in the area.  There are also plenty of affordable places to eat, including the Husky Pub, a well-known landmark.
  
  

  Maximum 7 spots available, first in best dressed!

  
  

  We will be taking our own boat (picture below) and all dives will be run by yours truly. Depending on numbers, the intention will be to run a double dive in both the morning and afternoon on both Saturday and Sunday. Everyone will get 4 dives over the weekend depending on weather and numbers. There may be an opportunity to do more but this will depend on space as the boat can only take a maximum of 5 divers at a time. 

  
  

  Gear:

  DOUTS gear hire is available for:

  • Tanks
  • Weights
  • Regs and computers
  • BCDs

  Transport:
  

  If you need a lift down please let me know and we can organise a seat for you in the club ute or car pool with another car for the trip.

  We will leave Friday afternoon and drive home Monday morning.
  

  Accommodation:

  We will be renting a house down in Jervis for the weekend.

  Check out the House!!
  

  Price:

  The trip will be approximately $230 which includes: accommodation, dive boat and ute running costs, and one club dinner. Depending on numbers and the amount of dives we run, the price may come down.

  DOUTS hire gear will incur additional costs.
