Hi All,
With the scheduled competitions and events drawing to a close for the 2016/17 season, it was time for everyone to get together for the 2017 Southern Freedivers presentation night and let their hair down (figuratively for some) and celebrate all the achievements of the past year. Thanks to a lot of organising done by Geoff and Carly, we headed down to Club Noble's function rooms and were greeted with an underwater scene, a stocked bar and a table full of dive gear and other goodies to give as prizes.

Geoff and Leigh had a personal bet where the lower scoring of the two for the shore based comps would pay the other $500. The cheque was presented in style and was legal tender. Good luck passing that to the teller at the bank without triggering the alarm!Attachment:
