Hi Mike, I am from Victoria and that dive was at Blairgowrie pier which is between Rye and Sorrento/Portsea on the Victorian coast. I'm not sure if you know Melbourne/Victoria well but that's where :)

Went for a shore dive on the weekend to try out my new underwater camera. Unfortunately I didn't think to test it before I went in the water and turned it on about 3 meters deep and found it had a memory card error (later on, I took it out and put it back in and all is good) so that was...

Yeah, I meant Australia. I've dived there a few times and it is 99.9% under the pier so we know it pretty well. Thanks.

I intend to get one, but if I can't, just need to know if I can go or not. It's a pier and I *think* (from memory) that boats dock on one side and the other is free so we *should* be ok in that regards.

Planning a shore dive next weekend with some friends in Victoria, is it illegal to shore dive without Dive Flag? Would like to know so I can organise one if need be.

Sweet, thank you. :)

Let's say your diving at 20m and the colour around you is pretty much a deep green or blue for whatever reason taking any photo of any coral or marine animal is just them being green\blue with none of their colour. It happens, naturally. Would a flash/strobe help remove the green/blue and get...

How much lag would you say?

I think at the moment I am happy with taking some decent photos to share. Not sure where or how I would go with underwater photography besides having memories. Thanks for the link to the review and the advice. :)

First off, sorry for asking a question that has probably been asked many times and is a little annoying. Looking to get into the underwater photography side of diving. I have my gopro and I love the video but at some point I would love to get some photos of me and my partner underwater and the...

Handy thread. I was looking at doing my Dive Internship in Australia but might be doing it in Malaysia instead. First I have to pass my Rescue Diver.

Thanks for the info. Helpful in what I can and cannot do. Hopefully I'll be able to get one or two.

Howdy all, I am looking to go on a cray dive in a few weeks time down in Victoria and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on catching them? What equipment can/do you use, etc? I've never done it before so I don't expect to catch anything though I do have hope. So yeah any advice would...

Diving at Wave Break Island, Julian Rocks & South Solitary Islands - YouTube Was a nice trip, though 2 days were cancelled due to weather and visibility wasn't the greatest (it wasn't bad by any means). I do think I need to invest in a filter for my GoPro though. Enjoy.

That's alright, I'll have a look around. I'm not going til next year anyway. Thanks though!

I would appreciate the name of the dive op you used. It sounds pretty cool. I am fascinated by the ancient world and it would be pretty cool to explore what remains they have there. Since we are there for a couple of days, a dive definitely seems worthwhile. How deep are the remains? Thanks...

Hi guys, Planning on a big African trip next year which takes us to Egypt. We are spending some time in Alexandria and I was wondering if any knew if it is possible to do recreational diving there? I've read that it has some great historical significance however I am not sure if it is possible...

Diving at Flinders Pier - YouTube This was at Flinders Pier about a month ago. Poor visibility but saw plenty of Sea Dragons. I imagine you won't have any troubles there. Nice place for a shore dive as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N1u_6ipM34 This is a short video of my dive at Flinders Pier, Victoria. I was doing my Nitrox dive as part of the course and it was only a shore dive. Visibility was bad, it rained for the past few days and pretty much all that was seen is in the video. My...

True, though I don't think I could video and take photos at the same time and I'm stuck on which I'd rather do (plus I need to get my buoyancy under control before I consider that).
