Our
Federation brings SA’s recreational scuba diving clubs together as a single,
strong force. We support and advise the clubs in all diving related matters.
We keep
the clubs informed and provide a forum for debate on diving issues.
Membership Benefits
SDFSA
membership enables club participation at our monthly meetings and receipt of all
Federation products such as our various publications, car stickers and DES
cards. We network with other
organisations of interest to divers and relevant information received from them
is forwarded on to our member clubs. We endeavour to obtain dive discounts for
our member clubs.
Monthly News Sheet & Bulletin
Our
aim is to email publications such as our monthly news sheet & Bulletin to
our member clubs so that they, in turn, can pass them on to their financial
members. Please check with your club Secretary if you have any queries
regarding receipt of the news sheet & Bulletin.
Sponsors Needed
Our Federation needs the support of
sponsors. We will recognize the support of sponsors through our news sheet,
Bulletin, website, minutes, annual reports, etc.. Although we appreciate all
of the support that our Federation has received from organisations recently,
we lack the support of any kind of major sponsor. Organisations interested in
financially supporting our Federation in any way are welcome to submit a
proposal either via email to sdfsa@adam.com.au
or via mail to PO Box 360, Goodwood SA 5034.
Club Newsletters
Each month we receive copies of a few
club newsletters (some hard copies & some electronic versions). Hard
copies are usually tabled at our monthly meetings. Electronic copies are kept
until a new issue is received.
