Tasmanian Combined Clubs Weekend 2021

10^th to the 16^th of June 2021

Each year (if there isn’t a global pandemic!), the dive clubs of Tasmania get together for a weekend of diving, socialising and information evenings, known as the Combined Clubs Weekend. Dive La Trobe is once again heading down to attend this event, held in the magnificent town of Bicheno on the East coast of Tasmania. With stunning diving for all abilities and a great social calendar, the weekend is always a great success. Nauseaus will be joining the trip, providing the ability to offer boat dives to members attending.

COST: $650 per person

What’s included: 

The Map to Paradise film screening

13th March, 5pm, Agora Theatre – La Trobe University, Bundoora VIC

From Executive Producer Martin Sheen, THE MAP TO PARADISE is an adventure-filled and spectacularly gorgeous tale about the birth of the global movement to protect the sea. From underwater worlds of ice to glistening coral sanctuaries, discover what it takes to build a movement and to create positive change.

Filmed across six continents, the filmmakers have set out to challenge the mainstream narrative of hard-hitting environmental documentaries with a “doom and gloom” message, and replace it with one of hope and courage. Along the way, we meet a prince, a president, a pirate, and also an island chief — among others — who are all playing a role in the quest to save the planet.

Mixing colourful character-driven stories and hand-rendered animations, THE MAP TO PARADISE is a rare urgent environmental wake-up call that retains a sense of awe and wonder for the kind of beauty that is still possible.

At the Captain’s Table, the Sea Shepherd talk – 8th of September 2013

Previously working as a dive instructor, Pia Klemp joined the Sea Shepherd crew one and a half years ago as the primary rescue diver. She is now the manager of the Steve Irwin. Pia was on the bridge when the Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru rammed the Bob Barker during the recent campaign. If you see the film footage of that incident, you will get an understanding of how scary that was.

Join us on the 8th of September, 2013 at 7.00pm in Williamstown.
