SB Invade the Rock 2010... when and where.....

[almitywife]

as the '09 Invasion was such a success so lets start planning next year!

i would be very happy for a return to SWR and it seems early march is THE time to go, so i vote for SWR early march 2010

so lets discuss to see what we can set up

cheers

March sounds fine by me.


As for where, hhmm, I wouldn't mind if the next Invade the Rock was held in: Southwest Rocks, NSW; Ningaloo Reef, WA; Lady Elliot, QLD; on a Coral Sea Liveaboard, QLD; Eaglehawk/Tasman Peninsula, TAS; Bicheno/Bay of Fires, TAS; Margret River/Albany/HMS Swan, WA (you'll have a hard time pulling me away from the vineyards though); All the wreaks in Melbourne, VIC; Wilsons Prom, VIC; Byron Bay, NSW; King Island, TAS (if only for the cheese); Poor Knights, NZ (can't forget our NZ brethren, eh bro?); Mikal Lematov wreak, NZ; Milford Sound, NZ; Truk Lagoon, Micronesia; President Coolidge, Vanuatu; a nice bit o'reef, Fiji; WW11 wreaks, Darwin; Great White Shark Dives, SA; whatevers good, New Caladonia; Iron Bottom Sound, Solomon Islands; PNG liveaboard; East Timor; Rajat Ampat, Indonesia; Lembeh, Indonesia; Palau, Truk Lagoon, Micronesia (yes I know i've posted it twice); Bikini Atoll; Scapa Flow, Scotland (I admit it's a little bit out of our way, but would be worth it for the single malts); Hawaii (oh dear, I'm starting to drift aren't I?), Truk Lagoon, Micronesia (see, I've posted it a third time now); Lion City, China; Victoria Island, Canada; the Great Lakes, Canada/USA, cave country, Florida................


I hope that helps.

Hey! .. I didn't see SoCal on that list, Tassie



The planning, and looking forward to the trip and people .. is half the fun
... wish I could go , I hear there's mermaids in OZ
*Sigh* ... maybe someday

Hmm ... So you want the Aussies to Invade the US DB I think we would get our backsides wiped


I will go with the flow ... just thought it would be a good idea to start this as a few people from OS have said they would like to attend, consequently they need a fair bit more forward warning of when and where.

Hey, don't worry , It's Southern California ...... they'll let anyone in


I didn't vote, but I'll say that if the diving was fun at SWR and the facilities were good, then have it there again .. I think SB diving get togethers are as much aboot the people as the diving

I voted for same place same time however I would also be happy with anything on Tassie's list Well anywhere really!

[almitywife]

for me, why i voted same time, same place... for us east coasters it seemed to be a easy option to get to and if there are any visiting US people they could easily swing the trip into their plans

although i would LOVE to do a WA trip, for us - the cost means its cheaper for us to fly OS to see whale sharks



cheers

Phil and I are in and would like to book our flights by July/August.

Have we decided on dates yet??
