Double dive at Pt. Lookout, Stradbroke Island. Possibly Boat Rock. For EXP+ divers.

Note: Please ensure that you fulfil the requirements outlined below before you sign up.

Each diver must:

  • Be a current Unidive member, medically fit to dive, who passed the swim test.
  • Have dived in the last 6 months.
  • Have an Advanced certification or equivalent from a recognised agency.
  • Have a minimum of 40 dives at 15 different dive sites.
  • Have dived on Down Under (our boat) before.
  • Have a suitable "deep" certification from a recognised agency, if diving deeper than 30 m.
  • Have proven experience diving in moderate current from a moored boat (ie not drift diving with a live boat that picks you up).
  • Have proven ability to navigate an unfamiliar site with the ability to return to the anchor point.
  • Dive with a DSMB, cutting device and whistle.
    Note: These items are NOT supplied.
    Note: A DSMB is different to a "safety sausage", and you need to have proven ability to deploy a DSMB from your safety stop, ie 5m below the surface.
  • Ensure that they have all required dive gear (except tanks and weights, which are provided).
    • Please bring your own masksnorkel and fins, as Unidive does not provide these.
    • If you need to hire other equipment such as BCDregwetsuit, arrange these before the trip (typically at the Unidive shed on Thursday night before the trip).
    • There will be no time to sort out gear hire on the day of the trip.
  • Dive within their certification and capability.
  • Follow instructions given by the Boat Handlers and / 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.
  • Attend the trip meeting (usually on the Thursday beforehand at 6:30 pm at the Unidive shed).

If you have any questions about the trip, please contact the Trip Organiser.
