Our first official meeting of the year will kick off with a bang. Hear all about the club, what we do, where we go, how we get there and why we’re the best club at Auckland University! Find out all about the trip to Goat Island this weekend. Meet the people you’ll be diving with all year. Drinks at Shadows after the meeting. You don’t have to be a club member to come along and enjoy the presentation so bring your mates.
We will be accepting new member sign ups at the meeting (LAST CHANCE to get the discounted $20 student membership deal – CASH ONLY).
You can also buy your tickets to our movie screening of The End of the Line.
Orientation week only deal: get full year student membership for the discounted price of $20 – CASH ONLY. Bring your mates along to our stall at Auckland University to take advantage of this deal.
The Auckland University Underwater Club is a non-profit, recreational dive club. Student and non-student members are welcome. Our goal is to provide our members with access to the great sport of scuba diving, and other sub-aqua sports, at student-oriented prices (read: damn cheap!).
We offer PADI Open Water courses, dive trips, freediving, spearfishing, a club boat, gear hire, club meetings, deals with shops, advice, underwater photography, buddies, wicked social life and advanced diver training… all at fantastic prices.
If you’re a keen diver, or you’ve always wanted to dive, join us and start enjoying life below the waves. No experience is necessary as we provide the cheapest PADI Open Water dive course to get you started. From there you can come on one of our many trips around New Zealand. We look forward to seeing you underwater soon.
New Zealand is in danger of losing its status as a world leader in managing fisheries, says the researcher behind a new documentary on overfishing.

Charles Clover, a former environment editor at Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper, says New Zealand’s reputation is under threat from its orange roughy catch and an almost complete lack of knowledge about the health of many of its fisheries.
A documentary film based on Clover’s book The End of the Line opens in New Zealand tomorrow after an influential run in Britain.
The British food-shop chain Pret a Manger ditched tuna sandwiches and several high-end restaurants changed their fish-buying policies after it screened.
In the film, scientists warn that fish stocks will be in dire trouble by the middle of the century if current rates of fishing continue.
