Hey diveroonies!
The *2nd of April *is officially MASC Day, basically a big introductory
bonanza about what MONUC and MASC clubs are all about, and what they can
offer to new and old divers. All divers new, old, salty, and silly are all
welcome to come along and find out what we do, and most especially get some
diving done before the weather gets wet, windy and wintery.
Your beloved committee will be bringing all the scubary equipment you could
ever need, so all you need to do it turn up on the day keen as a bean for
diving!
We’ll be running a variety of shore and boat dives out of Rye, details of
which are below. If you’re keen to come along, please fill out a
delightful survey for me:

*Our simple plan is as follows:*
*1. **Saturday 2nd April from 9am*
2. Set up a base somewhere on the grass near the Rye boat ramp. Look
for our marquee, lots of dive gear and a bunch or weird looking diver type
people hanging around.
3. You can come along and hire gear on the spot for a dive either under
the pier or on the MASC boat “Sir John” and return the gear straight after
(depending on numbers).
4. New members are welcome and can be signed up on the day.
5. Some of the more experienced divers in the club will be helping out
and leading dives which you can tag along with.
*Dives:*
Dives will be decided based on divers and conditions and are likely to be:
*Boat Based:*
1. South Channel Fort
2. Hurricane shipwreck
3. Scallop hunt
*Shore Based:*
1. Rye Pier & Elsa's reef
We expect to be running shore dives every 2-3 hours and will provide more
details prior to the day.
