It has no impact on how Australia looks - not in the circumstances you describe anyway, he was charged with manslaughter, he pleaded guilty - if you plead guilty to manslaughter you know that you are only going to one place and that's jail. Secondly, "Australia" doesn't come into it - as in...

They're really great prices; I just ordered my Nomad, plus weightplate, 32lb weight pockets, bellows pocket and an XL knife from Dive Gear Express - a little dearer than the Cave Divers people but I major attraction for me was their free delivery overseas (ie Australia), which males a big...

Anything to add to this one?

I'm looking at the same purchase; only problem is that in my drysuit, with thermals, plus steel 100cf/12L tank, I carry 24-28lbs of lead, whereas the weight plate only carries 16lb. This will only get worse if I go to Aluminium tanks. How would it be if I obtained/made a s/s backplate complete...

I'm pretty happy with my Cratos, bought via the worldwide part of their website but I'm now after a BP & wing - been trying the worldwide site for a while - there look to be lots of new products on there but the prices don't show and you can't order anything, it looks about buggered and they...

Yep, I had the same problem, so I emailed to ask what was happening and got this reply. " Hi Richard, I'm sorry we are updating the site now so you can not make an order. If you are not in urgent, please keep us a wait so you can order directly when we finish. Best Regards...

I had a pair of Volos Powers and after 18 months, one of them simply snapped on a dive (this May). Whilst they were great fins, they were also very expensive and bear in mind that this wasn't a cosmetic fault, the stiffener shattered, so they were flapping around like a broken wing and at the...

Well, I ended up buying one but not until April of this year. Very pleased with, it's very comfortable, although I did find with a single 12L faber steel cylinder (that's 95 cu ft to you in the 50) and my thick undersuit that the integrated pockets don't hold enough weight to hold me neutral on...

I've booked to do a Nitrox Course in mid September, including two dives on 32%. I have two regulators, a Us Divers Pro Diver 1st stage, with a chromed brass Conshelf 14 2nd stage and an Oceanic Omega; I understand the Omega will be OK to 40% but what about the Pro Diver/Conshelf 14? (subject...

Interesting double standard at work on here. Didn't take long did it? Anyone who posts anything suggesting, however gently, that gun control might be a good idea gets told "we don't talk that stuff on here - it's politics - see ToS" On the other hand, post something anti-gun control / pro 2nd...

It was, right up until until the Mods jumped in and said "You can't discuss that stuff". No one else except the mods had a problem with it, or at least no one did publicly. Divergent opinions were expressed but exchanged with good grace.

That must be a great consolation to his grandkids.

OK. Taking on two of those permitted topics; why do schools and workplaces in the US continue to suffer from mass gun killings yet it's virtually unheard of anywhere else?? Is it because schools/unis/workplaces elsewhere in the world have better security than in the US, and if so, what could...

Bugger all but who cares? It's probably a bit raw to talk abouit that in any more detail anyway. The conversation's moved on, that's all.

From England originally, emigrated in 1987, now live in Hobart, Tasmania. 10 yrs in Army Reserve here, once spent a fortnight playing soldiers with Hawaii National Guard (EX PACRES 91). Great blokes, great fun. Are you National Guard, Reserves or Regular Army? Good luck with our Occidental...

fair enough....I'm off to bed now. See yous.

No. There's no need for that at all, just fit them dry.

Why? All modern second stages are "upstream" (I think that's it!!), so any large increase in intermediate pressure will simply blow off through the second stage valve; that's your overpressure valve and it should make no difference whether there's one or two. I've not seen an overpressure valve...

Well speaking for myself, I left the occie on my primary cylinder, asa well as the reg on the pony. Really, your pony is your AAS first and foremost. Think through some scenarios of your buddy going OOA at various stages of the dive, say at the start because of equipment failure, when you've...

:D:D:D Well I guess what I mean is that using different tactics, as capabilities etc evolve really doesn't change the ethics that lie at the heart of the matter, such as they are, no matter where or when you live. Deliberate murder of defenceless people who present no threat for no other...
