Invasive Seastar clean Up & Picnic

  • Bellerive yacht club 64 Cambridge Road Bellerive, Tasmania, 7018 Australia (map)

Deep South is teaming up with the Invasive Seastar Clean Up group & Go Dive Tasmania to remove invasive seastars  

Let’s get together, look after our ocean, and give a little back to the place that gives us so much.

  • Who: Anyone keen to help  

  • What: Invasive seastar removal to protect local habitat  

  • When: Sunday 2 August – 10:00 am  

  • Where: Bellerive Yacht Club  

Meeting spot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LW82VjQ1fDvp7vuU6

Parking: Meet in the Yacht Club car park. It is normally for member only but in this case there will be no problem bringing your car into the car park.

Equipment Rental: Go Dive Tasmania is generously offering 50% off snorkelling equipment hire for this event. Thank you for your support Go Dive!

You’re invited to jump in and help by:  

  • Freediving to remove seastars, or  

  • Joining the land crew to count and weigh them on the beach.  

Bring some snacks and hang around for a post‑dive picnic with the community!

A few reminders:

We highly encourage taking a freediving course with us to learn how to freedive safely and proficiently.

  • This is a free, casual meet-up, not a formal course, so please ensure you’re comfortable to look after yourself and always buddy up (you can find a buddy during the pre dive chat if you come alone).

  • Conditions may change - check the discussion tab for weather/location updates

  • We highly encourage car pooling to these events so we don't over crowd areas. Keep your eye on the Facebook discussion for a car pooling thread.

  • Note: The only thing we take at clean up dives are invasive species and photos, so please no harvesting of abalone, fish, or crayfish etc.

  • Don't have snorkel or freedive gear? Get in touch now to arrange hire options.

Please send us a message if you have any questions
