NSW: Oppn promises new dive sites off NSW coast
The NSW opposition has promised to sink three vessels to create artificial dive sites
off the NSW coast if it wins the state election.
Opposition Leader PETER DEBNAM says his government would spend up to 10 million dollars
.. buying and sinking the vessels .. to attract more of the lucrative tourist diving market
to the state.
Mr DEBNAM has the decommissioned HMAS Adelaide and a decommissioned Fremantle class
patrol boat in his sights to use as dive wrecks near Terrigal on the Central Coast ..
off Bass Point near Shellharbour .. and near Jervis Bay.
He says the recreational diving market's worth more than 1.5 billion dollars .. and
he wants to make sure NSW attracts more than its fair share of it.
