G'day, The Fathoms magazine is a publication of the Victorian Sub-Aqua Group (VSAG), Australia's oldest independent dive club. (Indeed, VSAG will celebrate is 60th anniversary next year.) See www.vsag.org.au Fathoms magazine is only available to members. Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day, I've finally gathered together the various articles I've written about scuba diving over the years and made them available online. See Lloyd Borrett - Interests - Scuba Diving - Dive Articles I hope you enjoy reading them. Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day, I use the same first stage, primary second stage and alternate second stage regs on ALL of my recreational, technical and stage/pony/deco setups - Apeks XTX-200. I want to be using the best first and second stage reg regardless of what cylinder I'm breathing from. When technical diving...

G'day, Is '100m' 100 metres or 100 minutes? I suspect the former, but just asking for clarification. So I assume that when the unit is turned on and acquires the GPS satellite signals, it records a GPS point? Can I tell it to store a GPS location and if so, how? Any chance the software will...

Kent Tooling Diving Products in the UK - Kent Tooling Diving Products - DIVING PRODUCTS AND ACCESSORIES MADE FROM 316 STAINLESS STEEL I've tried a lot of reels, but these leave everything else for dead.

G'day, I too can't find any documentation for this feature of the Nautilus Lifeline software. It seems the unit records GPS locations as waypoints. But when and how? Can I tell it to store a GPS location and if so, how? This feature exports these stored GPS locations into a text file that is...

G'day, The Operations Manual has references to page numbers in the contents and throughout the manual. But the document doesn't have page numbers. I suggest you add page numbers. Less important is a styling tip. The document uses underline for a lot of text. I suggest you use some other...

G'day, For an up-to-date article on Bikini Atoll, please see Diving the Nuclear Ghost Fleet at Bikini Atoll - Bikini Atoll is the greatest underwater warship wreck museum in the world - The Scuba Doctor It's my account of a dive expedition to Bikini Atoll in October 2012 with The Scuba...

Maybe you should take a look at iGills. It turns an iPhone into a dive computer.

G'day, I've done 2-day, 3-day, 7-day and 12-day live aboard dive trips. One of my 7-day ones was in the Galapagos Islands. I couldn't get off the boat soon enough. But that's because the boat and food were very ordinary. The 4-days diving at Darwin and Wolf Islands was spectacular. My...

G'day, Almost every dive training agency in Australia requires that you have a current dive medical in order to do any training course, not just Open Water. Some dive charter operators and liveaboards may also ask for a current dive medical. It's not law, but it's recommended best practice...

There is only the one liveaboard charter operator for diving at Bikini Atoll and that's Indies Trader Marine Adventures (Indies Trader Marine Adventures | Mentawai & Marshall Islands Surf Charters). Then there are the usual run of dive tour companies that resell spots on the trips that Indies...

G'day Jenn, Great to learn that you've made some improvements to the boat and that you have a new chef. It wasn't the quantity of the food that was a problem, it was the quality and variety. I'd just like to point out that I was in one of the forward cabins, quite some distance from the engine...

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But I'll put my hand up. I'm a published diver who has already been to locations like Great Barrier Reef, Poor Knights in New Zealand, Darwin and Wolf Islands in the Galapagos Islands, Bali, HMS Hermes in Sri Lanka, Chuuk Lagoon and Bikini...

Guess that works if A: The weight belt weighs less than the lifting capacity of the SMB B: The reel line is long enough to reach the bottom C: You're not in a strong current situation. But if those conditions aren't met, there could be a good chance you'll never see your reel and SMB again...

G'day, After a few have seen or heard of the results I got using my GoPro HD Hero2 at Bikini Atoll, they've been asking me about what GoPro they should buy? Obviously, a lot of people want one from Santa for Xmas. I've put my thoughts online. See Lloyd Borrett - Interests - Scuba Diving -...

You're more likely to have success finding a buddy on a more local forum like www.diveoz.com.au - The Biggest Site for Australian Scuba Diving Info Most of the diving in Melbourne happens down at the southern end of Port Phillip Bay, just inside the heads, plus outside the heads in Bass...

G'day Elmer, You have plenty of choices in Melbourne for temperate water diving. I'd recommend you check out Sonar Wetsuits in Dandenong for a wet suit, or The Scuba Doctor in Rye (The Scuba Doctor - Home - Scuba Service and Repair, Dive Shop, Courses and Trips) for wetsuits and drysuits. A lot...
