Overseas trips!
As a Club we have had a couple of overseas trip to the South Pacific & Asia. if you have ideas about a great trip just let us know. In 2001 we spent a week in the Coral Sea, on the Undersea Explorer, with marine biologist, Mike Scotland. Our trip in 2000 was a week in Komodo, Indonesia, on the live-aboard "Evening Star". Other overseas trips have included the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.

For those of you who want to get back in the water, but it's been a while - a Refresher Course will be just what you need.

And for your friends who want to learn to dive, an Open Water Course will also be held at this time. It will be a great opportunity to learn to dive in a relaxed atmosphere and make some new buddies.

Social events!

In addition to our dive trips, we organise regular picnics, BBQs, social nights, including evenings when we sometimes have guest speakers. And of course, SUBS has participated in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade and Fair Day, over the past few years. We publish a monthly newsletter, "Sub-Aqueer", which includes dive reports, details of forthcoming dives and social events and other articles of interest to scuba divers.
