Disclaimer
The HDS SEAP is a membership-based, not for profit, Incorporated organisation, formed in 1997. Administration of the Society is carried out by a small Committee elected by the members on an annual basis. There are no paid positions at any level within the Society. Due to the tyranny of distance over the huge area in which the HDS SEAP operates, Committee meetings are held by email. Committee Minutes and financials are reported in our magazine. The HDS SEAP is not involved in any in-water activities. Diving is potentially hazardous and may cause serious injury or death. The Board of the HDS SEAP suggests that to dive without proper training or procedures, using equipment that you have not been trained or have experience with, or equipment that has not been well maintained, all increase this risk. The HDS SEAP is not a substitute for any of the above in any way. Commonsense and diving within your own experience and ability, is each members choice. Webmaster is not responsible for content. Content is maintained by the committee.
