The weather was looking fairly ordinary at best but proved to be magnificent on both mornings, so Dive Quest headed out over the weekend for some fantastic experiences at Flat Rock, Shag Rock and Manta Bommie.
Amazing to still see a Grey Nurse shark, and then loads of Mantas were on the cards. So with calm and clear conditions we now have 3 new Advanced Open Water Certified Divers and 3 new Nitrox Certified Divers!

25th May 2015 - Friday fables
Our 2 IDC Candidates are making great headway on their journey towards becoming PADI Instructors! 3 weekends down and 2 more to go then off to the Instructor Exams mid June!
Dive Update
We managed to sneak out early Friday morning for two awesome dives at shag rock! Bait fish galore met us as we descended for our dives! So many bait fish that it was hard to see more then 2m infront of you! Pods of dolphins could be seen close on the surface, big pelagic fish making the most of the easy feeding, and even a flash of a big shark looking shape was seen on the first dive! It was a rough trip back in as the winds started to pick up, seeing Saturday and Sunday's trips being cancelled.

Over the weekend we got in some
awesome dives! After weeks of waiting we finally had some luck with the weather
and snuck out to Manta Ray Bommie on Boxing Day! And what a treat! MANTA GALORE!
Our favourite Summer Rays are back in strength!!! Saturday and Sunday the
weather picked up meaning Shag Rock was our destination of choice. 10m viz and
an abundance of fish life, we truly had an awesome weekend of diving despite the
rainy
conditions.
We would like to congratulate Lucie,
Darren, Chris and Leyton for completing their Open Water Courses and Ian and Ted
who we welcome back to diving after completing their Scuba Tune
Up!

8th December 2014 - Busy Start to Summer!
DiveQuest managed to sneak out Thursday and Friday last
week before the storms bought in the strong winds and big seas, making Saturday
and Sunday get post poned. We would like to congratulate Nathan, who completed
his Discover Scuba Diver experience on Thursday and Kamaile, Morgan, Kat and
Roope who completed their Open Water Courses on Friday! Great effort
guys!
Saturday another big group of 7 students started and
successfully completed their Open Water Theory, Sunday being the Confined Water
Session, which all breezed through with ease. We'd also like to congratulate
Asta for completing her DSD Pool Session and Adam who completed his Scuba Tune
Up! Congrats guys!
We're keeping our fingers, toes and eyes crossed that
this run of bad luck with the weather comes to an end shortly! We're just
busting to get out to Manta Ray Bommie to dive with our favourite gentle giants
again!
DiveQuest is heavily booked for the remainder of the
year, with only a few days open to bookings so avoid disappointment by booking
early!
Christmas is nearly upon us! And to make your
Christmas shopping a little easier this year, we have some FANTASTIC specials!

24th Nov 2014 - Wednesday Night Travel Night!
Another sad
weather weekend. Friday was the pick of the day, however in saying that we still
dealt with a decent swell and poor viz of 5m. However our divers still saw a
bucket load of marine life, including 2 Grey Nurse Sharks, Eagle Rays, Mantis
Shrimp, Shovel Nosed Rays and much more! Saturday was cancelled due to huge
winds, currents and seas. Sunday we snuck out despite the weather and managed 2
dives. Fingers crossed that weather improves this summer!
A large Open Water Course kicked off on the
weekend with 5 students completing their Theory and Pool Session components and
eagerly awaiting getting in the water this coming weekend to finish off the
course! We also had a DSD and Scuba Tune Up join the students in the pool on
Sunday!
We are launching our 2015 International Dive
Holiday destinations in conjunction with our friends at Dive Adventures. Jerry
and Mark from Dive Adventures will be in store for our launch with loads of

disappointment!

20th October 2014 - Flinders Amazes Once Again
The weather
was perfect for Friday's trip out to Turtle Caves off North Stradbroke
Island. Little swell and next to no wind meant 2 great dives off Flat Rock, with
15m viz and loads to see everyone had a great
time.
Saturday
DiveQuest headed out to North Moreton Island for our scheduled Advanced
Only dive day. Unfortunately the great weather from Friday gave away to larger
then forecast swell and strong winds, which meant our planned sites of Cementco
and Smith's Rock had to be swapped to 2 dives at Flinders. Viz a little on the
low side compared to our other recent dives at Flinders, however it didn't fail
to disappoint our eager divers.
Saturday we
also took a group down to dive Cook Island with Tweed Sea Sports. Calm sea
conditions but sadly the viz was down a little.
Over the
last 2 weekends, 6 students have been taking part in the theory and pool session
training as part of their Divemaster Course. We would like to congratulate
David, Rick, Aaron, Liam, Matthew and Nick for completing the first part of
their courses and welcome you to your internship phase of your training. Look
out for these guy helping out on the boat and in the pool in the next couple of
months!
Saturday
Mark also had a PADI Side mount theory and pool session and Dan ran a Rescue
Pool session. With the students finishing their courses this weekend
coming.
