Canberra SCUBA

We have started the Canberra SCUBA group to assist qualified SCUBA divers to get together and enjoy their hobby. Many qualified divers struggle to use their qualifications simply because they don't have a dive buddy. We have experienced this predicament in the past and believe this could help many people dive more regularly. Throughout the warmer months this group meets regularly to plan potential dive trips. The dive trips can range from a simple day or weekend away at the south coast to more excotic locations for a longer period of time. Members are encouraged to actively participate and make suggestions for future expeditions. All qualified divers at any experience level are welcome to join us.
