Please help us protect the future of Lake Taupo from Didymo and other pest.  Wetsuits can very easily carry the Didymo diease and other pests picked up from other water ways around the world.  Lake Taupo is currently Didymo free and with your support it can stay this way for many more years.  With the support of the Department of Conservation all athletes must have their wetsuits dipped prior to registration. 

Didymo Dave will be available at the following times and locations to "dip" your wetsuit in a safe and effective water based cleaning mix. Once your wetsuit has been dipped, you will be issued with a DIDYMO KEYRING.  YOU MUST bring this keyring to the registration tent on Thursday. You will need to hand over the keyring in order to complete your registration.   NO KEY RING, NO REGISTRATION.

Look out for Didymo Dave and the Didymo banner at the following locations.
