Scuba clubs in NW Tasmania?

Anyone give me any information on scuba diving clubs in the NW Tasmania area? (Devonport - Burnie area)

Info on courses, with prices and possibly contact details?

Thanks.


There is a list of Tasmanian scuba clubs at

http://www.diveoz.com.au/directory_clubs/list_clubs.asp?state=4

Most are based in the capital, Hobart, but there is one club in Davenport, with its own website at

http://www.levenscubaclub.com.au/

Leven Scuba Club's contact details are:
PO Box 951 Devonport Tas 7310
Tel: 0437132945
email: levenscubaclub@gmail.com

There's an application form with details of subscription fees at

http://web.aanet.com.au/cupcake/LSC/LSC_application.pdf

Full Member: $55 per year Entitled to hold office, attend and vote in meetings and unlimited tank fills
Standard Member: $30 per year As per full member but must pay a nominal price for tank fills
Family Membership: $70 per year As per full member but includes nominated immediate family members.

One downside of the club is that it "does not conduct diver training or instruction, neither does it service dive equipment. New members wanting to learn to dive will need to complete a recognised open water course either through a dive centre or qualified instructor. Old hands in the club will of course pass on their experience and knowledge to newcomers. Barbeques and club functions tend to have lots of experience and knowledge passed around, much of it of dubious merit!"

Hope this helps.
