This is a day mainly dedicated to rescue training. We'll have trainees undertaking formal lessons but all members may attend these sessions to refresh skills subject to time and instructor availability. There's also a dive that can be a training dive or a general fun dive for those keen to rediscover the Tweed! 

Training:

• SO1 Rescue Skills for Sports Diver trainees

Meeting Points and Times:

[ALL QUEENSLAND TIMES]

• Morning rescue training: Grassed area above Little D-Bar Beach from 07:30 [TBC with trainees]. Near Northern carpark.
• Meet for dive: Jack Evans Harbour (Southern carpark) from 10:30
• High water: 11:15. This is a low tidal range. Entry to water should be possible on the rising tide before HW, but always check the conditions on the day.
• Lunch: from around 13:00 or whenever you finish your dive [picnic? or meet somewhere nearby?]
• Here's a web page with our Tweed location map.

Organiser: Donna (TO) and Gavin (DO)

Diver grades: All levels welcome!

Training: If you want to do specific training this must be organised in advance, with an instructor attending the trip. This trip is being organised specifically to include specific SD lessons, but you will only be included in these lessons if you specify your intent beforehand and it is acknowledged by the instructors involved.

Equipment: Full SCUBA kit including your own tank and weights. All divers are responsible for arranging their own equipment, including cylinders and weights. Divers should carry knife/line cutter, whistle, DSMB and reel and snorkel. Please also confirm with your instructor if any other specialist equipment is needed for your lesson.

Hire of club equipment: Contact the Equipment Officer if you need to hire any club kit: https://www.brisbane-bsac.com/equipment You may also be able to hire cylinders and weights from a local dive operator (e.g. Kirra Dive).

Costs: No costs (apart from your own costs of tank fills and carpooling if required).

Travel: Please indicate if you require a lift or whether you can provide a lift to someone else. We will help to link you up.

Food: We suggest bringing some lunch. If people are keen to go to the pub afterwards, please indicate this in your registration and we'll see... but those doing skills may be at the river longer than a usual single dive, so BYO snacks would still be a good plan.
