    How many divers, that you have taught can tread their own cam band without a diagram?

    Solo Diving in the ocean in your own boat?

    Some do things they aren't capable of, others never try anything remotely of risk, those that can are really better off keeping it under their wing........every man's got to know his OWN limitations! and in 80 years time they are all dead the same!!!!!

    Harness rigging question

    READ THIS !!! Researchers say reef green zones work - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) What you just told me shows your VERY limited experience with saltwater fish and how you know so little about how effective protection/no zones are- these fish don't look so scared! because...

    Solo Diving in the ocean in your own boat?

    It certainly sorts the men from the boys when it come to UW navigation, saves long hard surface swims to figure out using a compass properly. This is what I call training, getting fitter/stronger from long swims in hard currents(planning your dive to be up current first, knowing how geography...

    Harness rigging question

    I refuse to buy gear from the sellers of spearfishing gear...it's personal! I hate how the fish are scared of divers because of spearfishers! Makes photography heaps harder.

    Does it matter which SS plate I buy?

    Can vouch for both Halcyon and Zeagle- the Zeagle doesn't need a STA. The advantage is its more streamlined, bringing the tank 2" odd closer to the plate, the halcyon on the other hand is good for extra weight on the back with the STA weighing about 3/4lb and you can add up to 6lb in a moulded...

    Solo Diving in the ocean in your own boat?

    I do it all the time, but it is in a marine park green zone which has permanent moorings(to save damage to corals), has regular boat traffic and has a patch of reef which has areas dry even at high tide . if I anchor at other sites, I do prefer to have somebody attend the boat even if...

    Problems diving with other dive buddies

    It's hard to guide a dive and take photo's too- especially if your intensive and are shooting the critters, not the other divers- who are meant to be getting shown the sights, not showing them how you take photos of the critters. It's a piss poor effort, they deserve to be disappointed, you let...

    The big list of drills

    You need to change your tank O-ring its leaking and your alternate/inflator(on your left side) its leaking as well(probably overdue for a service). I don't like how she's got a inflator/alternate reg to start with. I would be careful she loses interest because she's being taught too much...

    Diving the GC Seaway 24/5/14

    When I looked at the tide times, I didn't bother going down to the seaway(nite dives basically, for mine I rather nite dive from a boat it's safer/easier then that slimey seaway pipe) and my wifey was working on sunday. I really did want to meet up with both of you and the repair man- knowing...

    Best Diving Spots in Australia -- help needed

    Hooded vest, under a 5mm is making it 8mm on the core, wear booties and gloves to stop flow thru the suit- The fit is vital a well fitting 5mm is better then a loose or over tight 7mm as they flow thru faster, making it cold- for me a 7mm is too stiff and makes gearing up a struggle. Really if...

    leaking inner bladder

    Scuba pro- Never had a look inside one, so I'm none the wiser....but like the fact they are making a wing BP set up, unlike all the other major companies! At the end of the day, I like to buy from small business, it diffuses wealth! If the bladder feels rubbery on the outside- watch out...

    The Air Buddy

    [/COLOR] What isn't to your idea of conventional; is of no use to anybody! That's being smug and sanctimonious in my book and all it does is make me skim read your words, then take them for what they are worth to me personally.........bugger all really. You can try to assume what...
