No buddy? Meet the Abyss dive tribe

Sydney diving is easier, safer and more enjoyable when you know other divers. If you are newly certified, returning after a break, or simply do not have a regular buddy, Abyss social events are a relaxed way to meet people, ask questions and stay connected between dives.

  • Meet buddies before your next shore or boat dive
  • Come alone to relaxed pizza nights, gear talks, travel nights and community events
  • Stay connected when you are between dives or weather changes your plans

Come alone. Leave connected.

You do not need to arrive with a buddy. You do not need to know everyone. Social events are where new, returning and regular Sydney divers meet the people who help keep them diving.
