NZTech07...trip of a lifetime!

Richard Harris · 20th November 2006, 12:29

I have just opened a new website which provides details of the planned trip to the RMS Niagara and the Pearse Resurgence next year in New Zealand. Many thanks to Webbie from DiveOz for his support with the site.

Look here http://nztech07.diveoz.com.au/

Craig Howell and Dave Apperley have put together an amazing expedition which will last around 4 weeks, starting near Nelson in the Pearse, and finishing on the Niagara near Tutakaka up North. Very excited to have such an impressive lineup of Aussie and overseas divers to hang out with for a spot of diving!

Have a peek at the website which will help us support our sponsors! The site is in its infancy but will quickly grow as the date approaches with more photos and past expedition info etc.

If anyone is interested in adding their support, please feel free to contact myself, Craig or Dave and we can explain what we can offer in return.

Hi Richard

Are you planning the dives after Oz Tek as I will be in oz for that, expeditions sound very interesting.

Cheers

Richard Harris · 20th November 2006, 20:18

Sadly we will miss Oztek, the Pearse is the week before, the Niagara is the week after. Rick Stanton and Leigh Bishop will be at Oztek of course, we weren't allowed to steal them for the whole trip!

Apologies but the trip is chock-a-block...standing room only now!

G'day John & Harry.
Congratulations & what an adventure! Would I be right in guessing, Craig was the finder of the Ships Bell, he has an eye for spotting things & judging by the huge grin & firm hands wrapped around it.

jdz · 2nd April 2007, 12:57

You'll be right on that!!! and guess who had to kiss the skipper's as**???

Wait for the photos.....

Cheers, JDZ

Looking forward to the whole story & photos to boot.
Gee I hope it wasn't it a french kiss

Congratulations John and everyone else. Read the reports. You guys deserve the finds.

Hope to hear the reports first hand soon.
