    Wrecks Diving In Australia

    So you have downgraded your critic of my post now to "pretty useless". He could just use it as a reference after looking at the market advertising to see if "they" are being straight, but its obvious you don't understand that. Depends on who the "him is". - lots of blanks your filling to...

    One more reason

    Had an Insta-buddy on Tuesday(dive charter) who couldn't maintain their altitude at the 5m/3min stop with any kind of trim, fining pretty hard up or down at any given moment. Gesturing to me that she wanted to look at my gauge/computer! more likely bludge off my stability! I had signaled the...

    Are Thai trained instructors looked down on and turned away in Oz

    I disagree there, I think Alcina has the best short answer........ I would add, that speaking Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese would be a great asset nowadays(like Japanese was before it's bubble busted). Russian also......I guess thats what devodiver is driving at with this "internecine agency...

    I dive Brisbane mainly- anywhere along the SEQ coast(I have my own boat), but I holiday regularly also- Thailand is a favorite OS locale, but bay of islands NZ will my next trip in January. I am a bubble nut that's for sure! Sad predicament for you Bryce, good things take time man- you seem...

    Are Thai trained instructors looked down on and turned away in Oz

    That's probably a fairer comment, dry suit divers are rare in Thailand(also queensland)- but there is lots of very experienced dry-suit divers that are instructors in Thailand. The livestock boats that run over 30 divers at a time need to have quality staff to avoid incidence. As Fuan has...

    I have seen them also at the gold coast seaway, used to be common, even the poorer kids could see them skindiving, but unfortunately they keep getting taken by the Marine Aquarium collectors.

    Hi fellow Aquanauts, Just got back from 3 dives at Byron. Julian rock Marine Park. Viz was ordinary 5 to 8m opaque with particulate, better at rising tide however, but pretty much limiting dives to close up stuff. Lots of fish life and Grey Nurse Sharks- be over a dozen GNS there, that are...

    Are Thai trained instructors looked down on and turned away in Oz

    I am not employed in the charter/instructor side of things, but I have had lucid discussions about this with many dive shop operators. I have never heard of people being knocked back because of where they got trained- but for their lack of training or ability to deliver the course in a...
