***  SOLD OUT, BUT WAITING LIST IS OPEN ***

It’s time to head back down to Dunsborough for another long weekend of diving the HMAS Swan and the amazing waters around Cape Naturaliste. We plan to do 6 boat dives (Thu, Fri, Sat) and there’s always the option to organise your own night dives and shore dives (or wine / brewery visits) on the Sunday if you want more.

We have two ticket options:

  • SOLD OUT  >> Option 1 (12 places): This year we’ve again booked the Luxury Guest House (Busselton Holiday Village). In addition to privacy, comfort and cleanliness, we will also have plenty of secure parking for cars and Doris, relaxing indoor and outdoor living areas and plenty of secure wash / drying areas for dive gear. This option includes 5 nights accommodation, all boat dives, all meals and snacks. This includes a discounted Student Price.
  • SOLD OUT >> Option 2 (3 places): For those wanting to stay elsewhere, we also have the boat Diving-Only option which includes the 6 boat dives in 3 days.

Waiting List: if you’d like to be notified if a spot becomes available, please select “waiting list” below.

 

Air fills:

  • Air fills are not included, but you can get your fills at the Swan Dive Shop (5 mins from accommodation).

How will the weekend run? 

  • The plan for the weekend is for everyone to make their own way down to Dunsborough on Wednesday afternoon / evening. There’s an option to arrive Thursday morning if you’re on the afternoon dives.
  • The group will be divided into two dive groups that will alternate between morning and afternoon dives over the course of the weekend.
  • We will slip Doris into the sweet waters of Geographe Bay early on Thursday morning, ready for the morning dive group. Around midday, Doris will return to the boat ramp and the afternoon group will go out for their dives.
  • The same will happen on the next two days, subject to the weather.  Other locations may be even more suitable so the actual dive sites and boat launch area may change.
  • Please note that there may be a chance to enjoy a long dive for anyone with the suitable training otherwise dives will be 60 min max.
  • The Sunday can be spent doing some additional shore dives or enjoying everything the region has to offer. The house is booked until Monday, so no need to rush back with the rest of the long weekend hoardes on Sunday.

IMPORTANT: We are a club operated by volunteers that love to dive. If you are attending this trip you will be required to contribute to the running of the weekend which may include cooking and/or cleaning up after meals; helping to set up, launch, retrieve and clean the boat; boat sitting (while divers are in the water) etc.

This trip is a Club favourite and will fill fast, so be quick! Cancellations requiring refunds will incur a nominal fee.
