Dive HMAS Brisbane Report 2nd to 9th April 2009

The cyclone has whipped up some big swells that are keeping the surfers happy at the moment. It’s not much joy for the divers though. This past week or so has produced a fair bit of swell and no diving on HMAS Brisbane apart from what has gone on in the pool and at the lake.

It doesn’t look too bright for diving this weekend either. The swell is predicted to continue. Let’s hope all of the forecasters are wrong, but the swell will need to drop for us to venture out to dive HMAS Brisbane.
 
We are proud to announce that we have just completed out first PADI  I.D.C. for some time and there are now 5 newly qualified instructors and one assistant instructor on the scene now. Congratulations to all of you guys, you put in a great effort and thanks to Tony Fontes for conducting the program. We are currently planning our next IDC for later in the year. We’ll keep you posted.

This is a time to check out all of your dive gear. Check that mask strap; those fin straps, the test stamp on your scuba cylinder and the date of your last reg service. Make sure that all is in good order and ready to go once this weather breaks.
