Descend Downunder

The BioSUB Project...

No doubt you've seen it in the paper, heard about it on the news and on the radio, well now its about to happen…..

 

Lloyd Godson will be living in an underwater habitat for 2 weeks.

Where? The Pit

When?  Starting first week in April

 

Why? Lloyd is going to attempt to live for up to 2 weeks in a closed environment where a special algae filters the CO2 & O2. This has never been achieved before in the world other than a man who lived in a cupboard for 24hrs in the USA.

Wanted: Volunteers who may be interested in acting as surface support crew. Descend is planning to have staff onsite but we need some help, watching Lloyd around the clock. If your interested in helping (no matter how much or how little) let us know when you could be available. This is your chance to support a local diver and be part of the team that makes history! Call us now and let us know your availability. We’ll pass your details onto Lloyd so he can make a roster for volunteers.

The Pit Usage..

There has been some discussion of late regarding usage of The Pit. Just to clarify things you are welcome to use at any time, however we are unable to issue the key, which simply means grab a bag trolley or a wheelbarrow and cart your gear in that way.

 

Congratulations…

To our latest Open Water graduates;

Elosie Dickenson, Shane Leary, Donna McMillan, Cassie Love, Naomi Gay, Matthew Kingerlee, Andrew Kingerlee, and Joel Clancy.
