Who is the BWAC?
The BWAC is the Brisbane Water Aqualung Club, a ‘not for profit’ scuba diving club based in the NSW Central Coast area (which, incidentally, is nowhere near Brisbane, QLD). The club owns two dive boats and runs dives most weekends.
The Membership of BWAC is extremely diverse and ranges from divers who scraped the bottom of Noah’s Ark to novices who are literally wet behind the ears! There are those who delight in the thrill of deep dives and others who prefer shallower jaunts.
