ABOUT THE EVENTS.
-The Interpacific's in Hawaii is normally a great event & requires 4 males (2pairs) and 2 females ( 1 pair) & reserves will also be considered. A team manager each for men’s and women’s will also be required.
Conditions are similar somewhat to Northern parts of Australia but the men will be required to dive & work comfortably to and beyond 25 mtrs whilst swimming quite hard over long distances.
-The AUF normally pay the competition costs which includes presentation & boat costs during the scheduled practice & event dates.
Managers/Competitors will need at least 11 days in Hawaii and will be up for airfares & accommodation, meals, boats on unscheduled days, etc whilst in Hawaii.
Fundraising is done by the AUF & competitors and this can reduce individuals expenses considerably.
