Dive La Trobe Updates

[Nat Kenyon]

Hi all,
 
Semester 2 kicked off last night with a brilliant showing at our free try-dive and BBQ. Close to 40 people took their first breaths underwater with Dive La Trobe! Thank you to everyone who participated and helped to make the night such an enjoyable one.

 

If last night is any indication, Semester 2 is shaping to be better than the first. You can read about our upcoming events below, as well as checking out our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/divelatrobe) and website (www.divelatrobe.org.au). We encourage everyone to come along and be a part of our awesome club!

 

 

Courses

 

- Positions are open and filling fast for our September PADI Open Water Diver course, scheduled to begin September 4th. This course will qualify you to dive to 18m anywhere around the world. You can learn more by visiting http://divelatrobe.org.au/courses/open-water/.  Just 3 spots remain, so get in fast.

 

- We have had a number of people request PADI Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver courses. Please email in...@divelatrobe.org.au to register your interest, after which we will schedule both courses over the coming months. Check out http://divelatrobe.org.au/courses/ for more information.

 

- Several new members have expressed their interest in SCUBA refreshers. One of our instructors has agreed to run a session next Thursday the 7th, free of charge. If it's been a while since you've dived and you wish to polish up on a few skills prior to hitting the ocean, email us at in...@divelatrobe.org.au. This will be available to Dive La Trobe members only, which may be applied for here: http://divelatrobe.org.au/about-us/membership/.

 

 

Events
  
- To celebrate the start of another semester full of diving, we are hosting a social event at the Koorinda Brewery next Thursday the 7th. All are welcome to meet at the Boatshed from 6pm,  before things kick off at 7:30pm. Check out http://www.kooinda.com.au/ for directions and come along to mix with the Dive La Trobers!

 

- Club merchandise, including hoodies and beanies, is available now. You can check out all the hippest apparel each Thursday at the Boatshed from 6pm. Sizes and prices available on request.

- The 2014 Dive La Trobe Annual General Meeting was held on Thursday the 24th of July. A big thank you to those who attended and turned what is normally a dull affair into a fun night. Congratulations to David Gallant, Mark Allen and Karin Axelsson, who were re-elected to the positions of Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. The Committee will now co-opt General Committee positions and club portfolios. If you wish to become more involved with our club and take on a greater role, please let us know.
