We have a convenor who has many years experience assessing dive conditions. He makes his assessment of conditions based on whatever he chooses. He has the responsibility of keeping it safe. Its a thankless task.
In the clubs opinion his decision will not be questioned.

Those that dont dive club stuff are welcome to dive wherever and whenever they want. (Remember 2 deaths a month ago . Club canned a comp the same day)
You only are responsible to yourselves.

Greg we don't dive comps at 5:30pm! Swell did drop off during the afternoon but that's no good to use if our comps start at 9. It was a marginal day at best and anyone with half a cracker could see that!

Hey Guys,

Is there any chance that one of the comps will be run this weekend? Want to make sure before making plans for the long weekend.

Sunday is looking awesome.........in the bay:)

Hi All. Looking at the forecasts the comp at Aireys inlet is called on.Sunday 12th April. Meet at the carpark on Eagle rock pde. From Main rd , Left into Alice rd, then left at Eagle Rock. Carpark is past Kingsley drive on left.
Bring you entry forms filled out with the correct money $15 Adult $5 Junior. No forms will be available at the start. Entries will close at 8.15. Sign on will be as divers leave the car park/assembly area just prior to the start at 9.00. At sign on safety gear will be checked.
Sign off will finish at the time decided at the start. It will be a 6 hour comp. If you have not signed off at the finish time then you are too late and will be excluded. Sign off will be at the carpark assembly area.
