Description: We have chartered a Manta Lodge boat (9 places). We're booked into the 06:45 dive. This is peak shark season, so expect visits to Shark Alley unless other sites are offering more. This trip will be suitable for all diver grades but Ocean Divers should be confident and comfortable in possible swell and current. If any doubt, contact Gavin before registering.

Organiser: Gavin Wills

Equipment: Weights and air cylinders will be supplied by Manta Lodge, included in the price. They can refill your personal cylinders if you bring them. All other diving gear is your responsibility.  Club kit hire is available.  Please arrange with the Equipment Officer well in advance if club kit is required. ALL divers need to carry a knife/line cutter, whistle, DSMB/safety sausage and snorkel.

Costs: Diving: this is a club charter: $180 per double dive including weights and aluminium air cylinders.

Transfers:  Manta Lodge will pick divers up from the Gold Cats terminal at Dunwich, but only for the two pre-dive ferries (05:45 and 10:15). If you use the passenger ferry at other times you will need to catch a Straddie bus from Dunwich, or make other arrangements for pickup and transfer to and from Manta Lodge.

Payment:  When we get your registration, the system will send an invoice. Full payment into the club's bank account will secure a place on the trip. Once signed up,  the system will e-mail you deposit details. This will be non-refundable, unless you find a suitable replacement.  If you book to dive and the dive proceeds then payment is expected.

Waitlist: If the trip is fully booked on the website and you want to be put on a waitlist (in-case of drop outs or more spaces being added) please send an email to Gavin using do[@]brisbane-bsac.com
