South West Rocks and Solitary Islands

9-11 June 2012 (Queen's Birthday long weekend Queensland)
2 great dive locations, one long weekend!
Fish Rock Cave is Australia's best ocean cave dive, and voted among the top ten dive sites in Australia, Fish Rock is located just over two kilometres off Smoky Cape at South West Rocks on the New South Wales Mid North Coast. A critical habitat area for Grey Nurse Sharks, our groups have regularly dived with 40+ sharks in 25m of visability!
Solitary Islands are located between Sydney and Brisbane and run for 90km - perfectly situated outside of Coffs Harbour. The Solitary Islands are at the unique point where the warmer waters from the Great Barrier Reef meet the cooler waters from the South, producing a unique mix of sub-tropical fish life, hard and soft corals and spectacular marine life.
$649 weekend package includes:
- 1 double dive at Solitary Islands, Coffs Harbour
- 2 double dives at South West Rocks
- Tanks and weights for all dives
- 2 nights share accommodation
- Light breakfast each morning
- Transport in Dive World bus from Dive World
- Dive World Dive Guide for the whole trip!
- Add PADI Enriched Air Course for only $199 extra

Early Saturday morning you will meet at Dive World to load your gear into the Dive World bus and collect any rental gear then on your way! After a relaxed five hour drive you will arrive Coffs Harbour where you will do two afternoon dives around the Solitary Islands. After your dives you will journey on to South West Rocks (about two hours) to your accommodation where you can enjoy a BBQ dinner.
The next morning, Dive World will provide a light breakfast and you will have the morning at your leisure before meeting at the Dive Centre at 12pm to ready for your first two dives at South West Rocks. Sunday evening is at your leisure, however you are welcome to join the Dive World Dive Guides at a local restaurant to talk about your day!
