:: Upcoming Dive Calender

September 4, 2010 - Cape Paul Lemanon

Cape Paul Lemanon is located just south of the beautiful Marion Bay beach. A submerged reef extends seawards from this point for approximately 1.5 km, rising up to 6 metres in places and providing a great rocky habitat for a wide variety of invertebrate and fish life. While this site is relatively exposed, on a calm day you can expect excellent visibility and great diving conditions. The TUDC is yet to run a dive to this location, so get on board to be amongst the first few keen divers to check it out! Space on the boat is limited, so get in quick!

Dive Co-Ordinator: Emma Flukes

Meeting Place: TUDC dive shed at 8:30 AM.

Certification Required: Open Water.

Dive Levy: $40 per person which includes safety gear and tank fills. Register below to secure your spot.


September 10, 2010 - Kingston Beach

Just 10 minutes from the city, Kingston Beach is a great site close to home that is surprisingly rich in critters at night. These sheltered waters are home to dumpling squid, seahorses, cowfish, seadragons, thousands of hermit crabs and even a resident stargazer! Come along for an easy shore dive to test out your night vision.

Please let us know if you need to hire a torch!

Dive Co-Ordinator: Emma Flukes

Meeting Place: TUDC Dive Shed at 6:00 PM.

September 11, 2010 - Isle de Phoque

Come diving at one of Tasmania's most renown seal colonies and experience a side of diving rarely seen anywhere else in throughout our temperate waters. This dive will be very weather dependent - backup plan will be diving down the peninsular. Numbers are limited so get in quick! Bring lunch and supplies, as we will be completing two dives on the Isle! We will be launching the boats from Saltworks Rd - the boat ride is 40km round trip.

Dive Co-Ordinator: Andrew Bain

Meeting Place: TUDC Dive shed at 7:30 AM.

Certification Required: Open Water.

Would you like to added to the wait list.


September 12, 2010 - Tinderbox Marine Reserve

Dropping onto a sea floor littered with a million screw shells, divers are treated to a surreal, lunar-like landscape that is home to some of the most peculiar creatures trying their hardest to blend in to the sparse surroundings. Some usual suspects include massive rays, pencil-like pipefish, hermit crabs, sea whips and the odd pregnant spotted handfish! The depth varies from 28m to 5m depending on where you'd like to splash, making this an excellent all-rounder dive for open water and advanced divers alike.

Thumper will be there to ferry divers the short distance from the picnic grounds to the dive site, so bring some snags if you feel like firing up the barby during your surface interval!

Dive Co-Ordinator: Steve Baker

Meeting Place: Dive Shed - Olinda Grove at 9:30 AM.
