  • Rebreather Information Night

    This night was a great success.

    Saturday, Nov. 28th,1998, 7.00pm at Southern Cross Divers, 255 Stanmore Rd, Stanmore. Joe Dituri, from Hawaii, will present an overview of rebreathers.


    On hand will be two 'Buddy Inspirations', a 'Topgun' homebuilt, an Atlantis/Dolphin, a modified FGG, another homebuilt SCR, and any other RBs we can rustle up.
    There will be a BBQ and there is a pool there so if you get there early you might be able to get Barry to let you have a try dive on some of the rebreathers.
