    Large Scale Rescue Scenarios

    I felt the same way, and its difficult to reason at what point are you "prepared" for what might arise. In the first year after taking rescue, I had at least 3 incidence that drew upon my rescue training. In each case, I think I responded appropriately and the training kicked in largely on a...

    What is proper training?

    Course overlap is common in most forms of learning. I just completed a degree and found alot of overlap with certain subjects. It can be frustrating for the fast learners, but can be beneficial to the learning process for most. Also consider the time between courses. Maybe its been a few years...

    Need Help Planning

    Ive never been there, but Western Australia (Ningaloo reef, navy pier) is supposed to be the place for lots of large fish. I dont think there are liveaboards there just day trips. Also, Townsville has the Yongala, which is a big fish hotspot as well. Townsville is near Cairns in Queensland...

    Liveaboards & sea sickness - Great Barrier Reef

    Not sure about that time of year specifically, however it can be a lucky dip any time really with the weather you will get. My trip in November was good weather, and Im going to townsville 1st Dec for a 10 day livaboard so fingers crossed. On a Cairns liveaboard, your not often exposed to the...

    Accident because outboard engine caught fire: Part1, by lumba lumba diving centre

    There is no attempt by me to cover up Don. Just an attempt to reason with the facts provided. I can only assume from your personal attacks on me that I have offended you by challenging you. I would prefer to keep emotions out of this, so I will just say that I assume your efforts are to inform...

    Accident because outboard engine caught fire: Part1, by lumba lumba diving centre

    I had a feeling you were going to take that line. Well thats a fair comment Devon, but why would you not believe whats being said. Do you have any reason to suggest its not the truth? I do believe it is the truth, I believe the photos are legit. I see a deliberate attempt to smear LL which...

    Headaches=quitting Scuba

Anyway, I was advised to breath more by an experienced diver / shop owner who's boat I was on at the time. The next dive I didnt have any...

    Accident because outboard engine caught fire: Part1, by lumba lumba diving centre

    I have followed this story on another forum and am personally satisfied the Belgian womans input is genuine and not forged. If you care to investigate rather than speculate, Im sure youll come to the same conclusion. There are even photos of the injuries of staff members and the Belgian woman...

    Pony Bottle, worth it?

    If solo diving I sling my 19 cuft pony to my dragon BCD. Pony has two clips, one top, one bottom. When entering the water I clip the top to my shoulder D ring and bottom to my hip D ring. Its very secure and wont move much when entering. I usually roll onto my back entering as opposed to gaint...
