Mark Colys Raffle

About seven month's ago when competing in the Canada Cup well respected St George Diver Mark Colys was critically injured by a boat. The injuries were severe but Mark is making a determined comeback. This raffle has been organized to help Mark financially through this tough period. As you can see below the list of prizes are impressive and at $5 per ticket is very good value
So help our mate and buy a ticket or get a book of tickets (25 = $125) & sell to your friends.

Far South Coast Championships

Far South Coast Championships Narooma 2007

The Far South Coast Championships were held on the 21st & 22nd of April at Narooma and was
hosted by South Coast Skindivers. Even though we had a smaller than usual turn out with 36
competing divers, it was one of the best comps at Narooma for years. You couldn’t have asked for
better conditions on day 1, with flat seas, warm waters and pretty good visibility. The only
complaint was the over- friendly seal population.
