Trip Report - South West Rocks Easter trip

A photo from South West Rocks Easter trip

After much a-do with the organising part of the trip, and an all time record number of adjustments to the number of divers with the dive centre, I set off for the long trip north to South West Rocks with a vague understanding of who else might or might not be joining us up there, but I knew there were going to be a few Robs and a few Bens at least. After a long and arduous journey we were met with an equally long and arduous check in process for the cabins, confused by the fact that James had booked one of them in his name and was no longer coming, which completely threw the whole paperwork system into chaos. A long day but nothing that a cold beer and a few burgers couldn't fix, even Ros...

Planned Social Event - Christmas in July

Dear SSAC,

It's now on the web and booked so Christmas in July is now official. Let me know if you would like to join the club to celebrate all things Christmas - open fires, cold weather, trad food and lots of drink, Christmas trees and lights, presents etc etc.

There's plenty of out door stuff to do to work up an appetite.

Deposit of $75 required to secure acomodation. Final cost will depend on numbers, but probably around $150 for the weekend.

I will be calling for volunteers to help wit...

Trip Report - Shelly Beach BBQ and training session

A photo from Shelly Beach BBQ and training session

Actually it was the 18th

The idea was to hang out at Shelly Beach in Manly with friends from the club but Ben A and Rob quickly snatched the opportunity to get some training done. Ross tried to humilaite the students by getting them to wander around the beach whilst wearing silly hats and string at a compass but the opportunity was wasted as a rain shower spoilt the fun. Our non-diving members were huddled under any cover they could get.... autmn in Sydney, nah.. more like Bognor. Rob, Ben and Ross went off to get some nav and dSMB drills done and two prospective members went off for a dive (welcome Bob & Amy) whilst the layabouts stopped the picnic blankets from blowing away (in th...

Trip Report - Baz's shop

WET, WET, WET.

I picked up Jonathan from his house in the red Ferrari leaving wonderful skid marks up his block paved drive (oops sorry!) as we sped off into the distance for another exciting days diving..outside Bazs!!

We roared down the road with Born to be Wild blasting out of the car to the deep roar of the 1300cc engine wheezing down Military Road.

Eagerly we kitted up and marched into the water. Oh s**t I am soaking, what is going on? We got out and effected a quick repair to turn my Typhoo teabag back into a drysuit. It didnt work and 30 minutes later I stepped out of the water having had a good if not very wet dive.

A cup of tea, biscuits, some quick repairs and a sit outsi...
