WHO WE ARE

WHAT IS THE URG DIVE CLUB?

The URG Dive Club is the Underwater Research Group of New South Wales, and is a non commercial organisation of people who share an interest in, and a commitment to the underwater world.

WHO ARE THE MEMBERS?

The URG Dive Club has people from all walks of life and age groups. Some are mainly interested in marine biology, others wrecks and photography. We all have one thing in common, – a strong interest in the underwater world!

WHO RUNS THE URG DIVE CLUB?

A committee of minimum 7 is elected by club members once a year. The committee meets monthly to formulate club policy and determine the activity program for the following months.
