Gidday' Both areas will be very cold, compared to Magnetic island- Nz would be cheaper to dive and stay, but it doesn't have leafy sea dragons. I would instead recommend Byron bay(shark dives) or fish rock at sw rocks, because the diving is very affordable $55/dive and you could party it up a...

What; that religion damages peoples ability to think rationally or not needing to put air in your BC to achieve weight neutrality in the dive environment???? so what is my issue??? What have I got wrong, or are you just going to goad me for offering my opinion? Please enlighten me! :(

Would you like to elaborate what you mean by that?

If it was me- 1. No, I don't need too, I stay neutral in the water using my lungs as a BC devise. If you get perfectly weighted and practice so that you can control your breathing, you could do that too.....someday! 2. No, your not, your just delusional or confused or traumatized- doesn't...

Dived last sunday-the viz has been shockers here nearly the whole summer, lots of rain- Made a poor judgement/lazy choice using a 35mm lens but heres the few I liked - DSC_1257 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! DSC_1231 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! DSC_1271 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! This little guy was...

Try the headland at surin beach, and the close to shore island off kata beach(north side headland) good skin-diving at times of good viz (feb-march)- wear a full exposure suit as you'll get burnt and marine stingers.

The nikon 35mm 1.8 will be the easiest lens to use straight up, good in ambient light if you have no strobe and is pretty cheap to buy and useful on land- especially coming from a point and shoot- great for portraits of other divers and fish. On an aquatica ad7000 there is no vignetting using it...

Yes you can't take it with you!(the money) I love my bio-fin pros, they are priceless in the water! get the spring strap too- easier to put on if you gear up in water; the ultimate fin for rec scuba diving. They will out live you!

Better to reign in hell, then to serve in heaven..... ---------- Post added February 24th, 2013 at 10:24 AM ---------- Maybe I need to do a weight check....

They have a very narrow passage connecting each side- hardly a true donut, makes it less free venting from the rear pull valve....my 2Cents' Check it out! ---------- Post added February 22nd, 2013 at 07:09 PM ---------- all so very different to each other, with different icing and...

Don't like the fact they are aren't a 360*donut bladder............Zeagle for the win!

Yes, Queenslanders are quite squirrelly about their diving. Apart from making regular friends and asking if they have other friends that dive, your gunna find it a case of your the "Billy no mates". Keppel Island is your only hope! Capricorn Reef Diving - Snorkeling & Scuba Diving on the Great...

failure number 1- just swim up using ure fins as you get up you'll become neutral on the surface and you'll still have your lead weights. failure number 2 - swim up, suckling the air from your bcd as it expands ascending using the mouthpiece and release button as you need a breath- yes! you...

I dive a wing with a shorter then standard hose as I find it simpler/less cumbersome to use- I attach it to my top left D-ring and only really use it to inflate (or to deflate on the surface), preferring my bottom right valve for trimming bouyancy as I ascend. The bungee necklace for the...

The most interesting thing to me in that lill' presentation is how the BSAC "present" the numbers to promote their organizations role in diving administration and access to government/public funding(it's links to insurance companies)- somebody 'must' be creaming off something- whether it's coin...

Solo Diving- Coming out of the Closet on Vimeo Padi/whoever can't regulate against incompetence- but instructors still cert divers that are incompetent! You have the right to remain stupid!

Hi Lilly, No mistake- great Idea!!!!!! Ao Nang and Railay beach is a top spot in Thailand, even got camping at Nong Thale for the young at heart. Try these guys, Rina and Alexi Houston- Scuba Diving Thailand: Dive Krabi lovely couple living in Ao Nang, I did my OW ticket with them...

You can legally collect crays on scuba gear in NZ, Western Australia and Tazmainia......check laws before you do anything always!

I would try and do the Advanced open water course before you do a liveaboard, as you might miss out on a few of the dives on offer due to cert card limitations. Have a look at South Siam 3 & 4 as well, you ride a speedboat out there instead of a long chug out in slow boats. South Siam 4 (SSD4)

Fly to Cairns or Townsville and organize a charter from there- spend a week there. Aqua pro will give you the run down on operates, port Douglas is worth going to see Daintree river, croc's and reef stuff- even feral pig hunting tours. Sydney is worth a shore dive or two, try shelly beach...
