Event information

Registrations for this event are closed.

Update 2023-01-11: Trip cancelled due to weather conditions.

UPDATE: 6th January 2024.

The weather forecast is currently not looking so great for diving in the Ocean.  We are going to have Curtin artifical reef and either Bulwer drop off or the Tangalooma wrecks as a backup.  As Curtin is an EXP site, we have opened the trip up to 4 more divers.  We will confirm later in the week which site we will go to.  As the trip is currently full, these additional spots will only be available if we go to Curtin instead.  Please only sign up for these spots if you meet the requirements for EXP site, ie Advanced Qualification and 30 dives at 10 different sites.

Hi divers,

We plan to go for a double dive at the Mooloolaba Reefs (not HMAS Brisbane), eg The Inner and Outer Gneerings, Mudjimba Island (Old Woman Island).  The Gneerings shoals are approximately a 20 minute boat ride from Mooloolaba and there are a variety of sites within the shoals.

Each diver must:

  • Be a current Unidive member, medically fit to dive, who passed the swimming test.
  • Have an Open water certification or equivalent.
  • Have dived in the last 6 months.
  • Dive within their certification and capability.
  • Ensure that they have all required dive gear (except tanks and weights, which are provided):
    • Bring their own mask, snorkel, and fins as Unidive does not provide them.
    • You must dive with an SMB / safety sausage, cutting device and whistle. Note: These items are NOT supplied. SMB / safety sausage and shears can be purchased from Unidive.
    • Please note, there will be no time to sort out gear hire on the day of the trip
  • Follow instructions given by the boat handlers or the dive supervisor.
  • Help out throughout the whole day.
  • Notify the Dive Officer and Trip Organiser of any changes to their personal circumstances as declared in the event registration form.
  • Be able to attend a trip meeting the Thursday before the dive, at 6:30 p.m. at the Unidive shed.

If you have any questions about the trip, please email dive@unidive.org.
