    Searching for a dive master internship.

    SEAWAY IS FREE?? No it's not!!! Lets start with it's very limited time window for diving(one to two hours/rising tide). Then there's fuel down from Brisbane, airfills and you have to have a full kit with at lest one tank! Taking it up to around the price of the phuket dive/dive. You do the...

    Searching for a dive master internship.

    Hi Mike, What is the general consensus on people who say "trust me"??? Tom could do 100 dives in less then 2months, for well less then $30/dive as a part of a cleverly negotiated off peak season DM package, making him of greater experience and certification then your fine self! Please,tell...

    Completing certification dives in Cairns?

    They don't!- but if something happened to you requiring insurance, you can bet your best asset that it would provide the "technicality" to null and void your travel/dive insurance and possibly the legal responsibility of the dive operator. Remember the people who write these regulations are...

    Completing certification dives in Cairns?

    Get him to do his academics for the course online before going https://www.padi.com/elearning-scuba-registration/default.aspx which he can review at anytime later on(unlike losing your OW manual). That will save time , you can do all the rest on a boat on the reef.

    Searching for a dive master internship.

    Tom's cheapest way to log dives fast and get his "golden ticket" is Thailand or Bali! Nit pick??? Pffffffffttttttttttttttt! Zero "get a job that pays well" was my best effort, seems your point isn't so strong, accurate or pertinent anyhow Brako. Whats REALLY is "looked upon" #1 is your...

    Searching for a dive master internship.

    Don't know how OR WHY you have got your advanced "certificate/card" not license- there isn't one- after only 11dives, do you feel advanced or just excited? Probably Thailand/bali is your best shot to do the OWSI cheaply and get lots of certs done quickly. Courses Packages package - All4Diving ...

    New Gold Coast Dive Attraction

    Then they sell it onto a country like India or Bangladesh, which is corrupt and doesn't do the right environmental efforts required and it pollutes the ocean just the same.....funny how a "sale" negates the responsibility on the final outcome.

    When is a skill "mastered"?

    I know if I had kid ready to be certed, I'd rather /she/he was tutor by someone like net doc then say a cow tow of the padi trip- owning a compressor circumnavigates all this ****e!!!! a 12 year old doing 4 unit maths and physics, doesn't need padi tard ed.....what they need is a...

    AOW for Experienced Divers: An Open Letter to PADI

    Don't you understand the PADI dive plan? Keep the Divers insecure so they pay to go on guided dives irregularly on a charter boat; doing say 1 dive every 2 weeks. This keeps profit at a maximum. Those that really dive! They dive privately with their own gear and tanks from the shore or...

    When is a skill "mastered"?

    A true master is someone that does something with consummate ease, makes a task look easy, second nature.....giving an anybody could do that feeling to the on lookers. Devoid of any anxiety, nervousness and anticipation.

    Yes you did! :) You can buy the stickers on ebay and put them on yourself, if you wanted to.

    Very happy with Lavacore

    I don't like the constriction caused by think wetsuits, so I am trying this under a 2.5mm super stretchy easy to put on, back zippered waterproof, w30. If it works in 21*c/70f I will buy my wife one too. I am bit worried that I got a front zipper job now, maybe the long pants and long sleeve...

    Forgive me for asking a question that has probably been asked many times

    I know exactly what you mean. Bit like mining jobs! Really if you don't have the credentials, experience and good contacts your up the creek really. Funny how Padi suggest a good career in diving- same as those mining job recruiters they promise heaps, but then sting you for search fees and...

    Best places to dive anywhere in Oz in July / August

    Sundive Byron Bay- experienced local dive guides, lots of big fish, HEAPS OF SHARKS AND RAYS and a cross over point for hot and cold water fish where kelp meets coral- great town to stay at with lots of good restaurants, nightlife and other things to do like surfing. Best of all, good value...

    Forgive me for asking a question that has probably been asked many times

    Nothing is worse then being an experienced diver and getting guided by someone with little real coral reef diving experience, then who hardly knows the sites you're diving- bad show from the Aussie operators who hire foreigners, makes me love towing my boat up to FNQ instead of feeding the...
