About Scuba2 - The Club
First formed in 1987 and incorporated as a club with one common interest – DIVING! The Club has maintained its independence of any dive shop since then, and is a non-profit organization. When it was formed major goals were established. These include:
- To promote safe diving at all times.
- To dive with like-minded buddies.
- To have fun.
- Conservation of the marine environment.
- Social interaction.
It was felt then, as it is now, that divers needed regular diving with other keen, safe divers, so that those newer to the sport could learn from those with greater experience.
Diving
The basis of any dive club is, of course, its diving. We have a Dive Co-ordinator, and Club dives are organized by volunteer members.
Regular trips away are organized, ranging from overseas destinations, through the further reaches of Western Australia, to a weekend in Dunsborough. We also dive regularly in the metro area, both day and night dives, shore dives and boat dives. The Club is always keen to dive new and unusual sites.
Safe diving is encouraged at all times. An annual dive Skills Review is arranged by the Club, and all members are encouraged to participate. On any Club dive, new divers are partnered with a more experienced buddy. We actively encourage new divers to take the Advanced and Rescue courses and many have Nitrox certifications. Some divers even have leanings towards Technical Diving.
Scuba2 - The Club meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:30pm at The Mount Flora Museum meeting room on Elvire St, Watermans Bay (between Flora Tce and High St ).For directions, See map1 map2 map3
At almost all meetings we have a guest speaker, who could be one of our own members describing (usually with pictures) a recent dive trip, or someone with expertise in some aspect of the life aquatic – anything from marine biology to underwater forensics.
The "LogBook"
The "LogBook" is the Club's bi-monthly magazine, featuring a calendar of up and coming diving and social events, and with articles on diving and social events, trips away, and up to date news on Club members. Contributions by members are strongly encouraged.
