Frog Dive E-News 3 December 2009 Gday Froggies, We have witnessed a pretty good start to the summer season. The weather has been great, and because of the fair weather, some old faces are beginning to appear once more. We have a lot happening over the coming months with plenty of social dives, boat dives and weekends away. CHRISTMAS TEAM DIVE The best team dive of the year is nearly upon us. On the 13th December we are meeting at Captain Cook’s landing place, Kurnell, for a big BBQ Christmas lunch and dive. The brief for this dive will be at 9am [please note the time change, and from now on it will be a 9am brief every team day]. We want all levels of experience to turn up, new divers, advanced divers, divers with 1 foot in the grave, staff, and even non divers. Everyone will be looked after, with buddies organised on the day, plenty of food and drink, and Santa may even appear. Please be aware that the tide on this day will be running out, so the usual brief will not apply. Kurnell is a great dive site, especially when the tide is running in, so expect average visibility on the day. There are still plenty of positions left for the boat dives which depart at 8, 10 and 12 noon. Do not leave your run late to book your spot onboard Omega 2, as we expect her to fill quickly. There is an entry fee to park within the park of $7.50, so bring your change. The food on our Christmas dive days is always great, please email luke@frogdive.com.au if you intend to attend, and also if you have any dietary requirements. DECEMBER SHORE DIVES The Guildford Divemaster of the year has organised a heap of shore dives over the month of December for anyone to come along FREE. The only condition of attending is that anyone wanting to dive MUST call Elliott beforehand so that he has some idea as to how many will be diving with him. Elliott’s number is 0400322091.

Not all the money is in yet, but we estimate approx $1200 in funds were raised by the team, and on behalf of the boys, we thank all those that donated. We will do it again next year, maybe with a bit more support with a couple of extra participants.....one thing is for sure.....we need to change our style! HUGE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL..........MASSIVE SAVING For all you budding camera persons out there, we have a huge reduction on a video camera that retailed at over $1500. This is going to upset a couple of you that have recently purchased the Bonica Snapper HD video camera, housing and case........we were honestly unaware of the changes in price. It is now selling at $950.00, and can be viewed through our cart at http://frogdive.cart.net.au/cat/2058697.html. Again, we apologise to those who have taken possession of the camera recently at the original price. Get in early to secure your new Christmas present..........
