Who is he going to apologise to from SB? Id excect all the parties directly involved, but why apologise on SB?

I found confidence building exercises like: 1. swimming underwater in a lap pool to gauge your potential range (full breath and empty breath) 2. Breath holding exerices like static apnea programs on my pc 3. snorkelling, freediving all give you a feel for your non breathing capability...

Dunk Island is close to Cairns

Fire on board a boat is one of the most dangerous things that can occur. The reactions of people in such a situation are unpredictable at best. Unfortuantely it resulted in injury, but by the sound of it could have been much worse. Was there any explanation to the cause of the engine fire...

The importer, or anyone for that matter, can use the pdf attachment in the OP to get an approval number for a particular cylinder. You need the engineering drawings and some other info. The difficulty is getting all the info. The importer is the most likely place to get an imported cylinder...

When you say controllable? Its not easy to make fine adjustments with it, but I do use it a fair bit. I normally use the shoulder dump when descending. But once sinking I turn to head down position. Mainly use the lower dump mid dive when I swim up and become a bit positive and find myself...

Yeah its got an upper and lower large dump valve on the right side.

Do you have a car? Are you at North Sydney or South Sydney? Im on the southern side and dive with Abyss a fair bit. Check out the website for the shore dive calander. Sydney Scuba Diving - Calendar Most of the dive sites in Sydney are listed here in detail Michael McFadyen's Scuba...

I have the non AT Dragon and use the large rear dump valve to wash the inside. I unscrew the dump valve, put some water in, replace the dump, swish it around then use the dump valve to empty the water

Hi, Ive only dived a few locations around Terrigal, but it has good shore diving right next to the local dive shop so its my preferred spot in the area. The shop has a boat also with quite a few sites. Plenty of deeper options with them like wrecks and sharks. There is lots of info on their...

Im not saying you have to be a good swimmer, and hadnt noticed anyone else saying that either. Its personal preference really, and for myself I enjoy diving in challenging conditions, so I stay in shape for these situations. As for not surpassing your limits, the best planning and intentions...

Some of the better dives in my wider area are renowned for strong currents and waves. Im not regularly at the pool atm, but can swim 2km in a respectable time. At the beach I can tred water for 3-4 hours while body surfing. The most valuble things for me when diving are general fitness...

My Suunto Vyper air has been reliable so far in that once its paired up it stays paired for the entire dive. It does however change transmitter codes if the transmitter is activated for long periods and doesnt pair with the wrist unit. The typical scenario where this can occur is after a...

One thing to keep in mind for tanks / burst disks is fatigue, not just the maximum pressure exerted on a cylinder. Consider a cylinder with a defect that is undetectable by regular inspection. Metal impurity, incorrrect alloy, incorrect hardness ect. in a part or all of the cylinder. Over...

I recently purchased excel+ to replace my 15yo quattro's and have done 20 odd dives in them. They require more strength than the quattro's as they are bigger and stiffer but I find I can propel myself with small kicks with minimal effort. If I kick with long strokes to try to swim fast, they...

My next regs will come from leisurepro. Takes 4-5 working days to deliver if the order is under $1000. If over 1k customs requires GST before they clear it so its a few more days. There are some stores locally also. Dive Imports Australia Central Coast Scuba Diving & Online Sales > dive...

Tank exploding should only occur if the tank is rusted or cracked. Otherwise the burst disk will go. I keep my tanks on the floor behind the front seats of my car. The lower they are, the cooler. The trunk gets hotter than the floor Ive found especially if you have the windows down half...

I found doing a static apnea exercise helped alot. Static Apnea Tables by Freediver.co.uk and Freedivers.net :: Graphics by Mozzi I put on voice activation and when Im browsing the forums I run this in the background. I quickly went from 2 minute breath holds to 3.5minute
