I don't know about TUSA but your trip to the daintree/cape trib will be fine. It's a great area up there. Try and get on one of the river tours at the crossing to see crocs in the wild.

What does this mean? How can you be walking along the bottom while in trim??

Woo hoo I'm sitting on a gold mine here. ! I have a copy that is not for sale but you are welcome to borrow it. My wife got it from 'the book depository' website but I see they are now listed as unavailable.

Hi Dave, Welcome to scubaboard and good luck with you business. The website looks really good. Mike and I often dive together so we'll make a plan next time we're down that way. Ferris

I'm posting this in the hope that whoever picked up my long sleeve shark skin top from Sundive at Byron Bay on Sunday 14th is looking to return it. The optimist in me is thinking it was grabbed by mistake and will make it's way home.

Dive dive dive in Tingalpa. Or you could try diveXcite in Eagle Farm.

It would have been nice if someone checked if Waseem was still breathing after his little adventure. The poor guy was more than half dead and they just ignore him completely?? I think scariest of all is the divers opinion that no text book could have prepared them to deal with that dive. Like...

Thanks for the update Michael, is the reluctant witness a guide working for the shop in question?

Awesome, thanks.

Thanks guys, Is there a problem with the SOLAS tape getting water inside it's cells once it has been cut or stitched?

I am in the process of getting a custom hooded vest made and want to add some reflective tape to the top of the hood. The guy making the vest hasn't used any reflective material before and isn't sure what will be best. Does anyone here have any suggestions? One issue that he did mention is that...

What did the DM do to get you to surface?

What reason could you have for advising a new diver against further training? It is his money to spend, and he won't be instructing or guiding others. Is it so bad to learn the correct way of doing things before you spend 200 dives practising? (I'm talking about training in general, not just DIR)

I think I remember reading a recount of this event as well. What ended up happening to the two instructors that were OOA? Scary stuff.

Can you elaborate on this? Did you end up on your octo while two DSD buddy breathed your primary donated reg? All while the leader of the DSD divers watched and did nothing? Or we're these two OOA at different times? In which case I assume the DSD leader took the first client that went OOA off...

Can you explain it to us? 1/3 in. 1/3 out. 1/3 reserve...What's not to 'get'? The rule of thirds might work for tech or penetration dives, but isn't it excessively conservative for most rec dives (like the one DaleC describes?)

A lot of this post seems very strange, and I can't imagine a scenario where the crew would ever refuse permission for a diver in the water to re board the boat. Perhaps if the had a major medical emergency on board and needed the space?

I wash mine on a delicate cycle in the front loader, but I always give it a pretty thorough rinse before it goes in. By the time it's done I figure it has had plenty of fresh water flushed through the machine.

I started with Mares Avanti Quattros, and they are good fins, but I got a cheap deal on some OMS Slipstreams and have been happy with them. I know what you mean about 'plywood' fins but you do get used to them quickly, and now I really like that feeling. The quattros might be a good...

What has Greenpeace done to endanger people's lives? Don't confuse Sea Shepard with Greenpeace. Paul Watson the founder of Sea Shepard was expelled from Greenpeace in 1977.
