JCU DIVE CLUB

Written by Tiffany Dun, Marketing Manager of the Dive Club

Are you interested in dipping your toes into the vastly unexplored realm under the sea? Do you enjoy blowing bubbles in your spare time, watching turtles swim or searching for nudibranchs under the corals?

If you haven’t heard of a nudibranch -Google one, and you can thank us later. And if you’re still reading this now, then you should probably join the JCU Dive Club this semester. With monthly liveaboard trips to the pristine outer GBR, we can guarantee being a part of our club will begin the ultimate journey of your human lifespan.

Share a beverage with us aboard the vessel Kalinda, watch the sun touch the sea while the sky turns magenta and listen to the gentle sounds of water lapping while our crew serenade you with soft guitar strings. Dive deeper than the width of a basketball court during the day and bring a torch with you at night to uncover vibrant colours usually hidden by the blue abyss. This semester we have a plethora of fun activities planned, ranging from SS Yongala Shipwreck and Museum of Underwater Art day trips to a Women’s Dive Day at Maggie, river cleanups and social soccer and volleyball tournaments! Joining us in some (or all) of our adventures will reward you with life-changing encounters, both above and below the water.

If you are interested in becoming a fellow bubbler or perhaps undertaking a SCUBA course, visit our stall on market day (17th Feb) or attend our welcome BBQ (Sat 27th Feb) at the Rockpool by the Strand. Anybody who shares our passion for the ocean or aspires to be part of a positive community is welcome to join!

Hope to see you there! Best fishes, JCUDC xoxo
