G'day, I dive solo on a regular basis, though on recreational dives rather than technical dives. Although I've never asked to dive solo while on a dive trip or liveaboard, this option has been given to me from time to time, and I've used it. (Every time I was using my technical rig with...

G'day, It's an interesting set of lists, but I guess it's a very subjective and personal thing when one starts to make such lists. There are three aircraft carriers that can be dived and I've been fortunate enough to have gone down to both the HMS Hermes (95) off Batticoa, Sri Lanka, and the...

G'day, I was on the late October 2012 dive expedition with Peter Fear, The Scuba Doctor, to Bikini Atoll on MV Windward. There's a great video from the trip at https://vimeo.com/53356169. I first booked in 2007 to go to Bikini Atoll using the fly in and fly out land based operation for a...

The Miflex Xtreme-hi hoses look absolutely brilliant. I'll be looking to use them on my setups when I get a chance to reconfigure them. Peter Fear at The Scuba Doctor in Melbourne, Australia showed me them last weekend. He told me his first shipment had nearly sold out in two weeks! See...

G'day, I used Miflex hoses when I set up my new regulators for my twin setup earlier in the year. Colour co-ordinated them. Blue for inflator and yellow for regulator hoses. As the old style hoses fail on my single regulator setup I'm replacing them with the Miflex hoses. They're...

G'day, It is very personal. I do most of my diving in the temperate waters of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I dived through my first winter last year using a 5/7mm semi-dry wetsuit with hood and Northern Diver Thermalskin under the wetsuit. Though I currently have a Northern Diver CNX...

G'day, The Victorian Artificial Reef Society (VARS) is working towards the goal that one day soon you will be able to come and dive the ex HMAS Canberra warship as an artificial reef and wreck site in Victoria, Australia. You can read about the current status of the project on our ex HMAS...

G'day, You can read about what I think is great set of gear for my experience level and the diving I'm doing right now at www.borrett.id.au/interests/scubagear.htm Is is "perfect"? Well probably not. But I'm such a newbie, how would I know what "perfect" is. However, in selecting my...

G'day, I currently dive using a Suunto Vytec DS with air transmitter on my wrist, plus a Suunto CB-Double-In-Line Console Combo with SM-36 pressure gauge, SM-16 depth gauge and SK-7 compass. The pressure and depth gauges are on the front, with the compass on the back. I'm looking to...

G'day, Olaf van Zandwijk (see http://enschede.vanzandwijk.net/diving/) kindly gave me the PHP code he used to put his Diving Log database online. With additional help from Olaf, plus Sven the creator of Diving Log, and others, I've been able to adapt Olaf's code to suit my own preferences...

Thank you one and all. For now, I'm giving Diving Log a go. It can export the dives to MySQL, which means I should be able to use the data to put my dive log onto my web site. Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Thanks, Graham. I already have two batteries for my S40 camera, though they would now be 3-4 years old. I notice that everytime I go to use the camera (which isn't a lot) the batteries are flat and have to be recharged. I think I will go with a housing for the S40 for now. Then if I get...

scubastore.com, and online dive shop based in Spain. Also purchased my Apeks regs there.

G'day, I've just taken delivery of a Suunto Vytec DS dive computer with Transmitter, Dive Manager software and USB interface. I haven't installed and looked at the Suunto Dive Manager software as yet. But I'm wondering if it will be a suitable solution for me anyway. Ideally I'd like to...

G'day, I took up scuba diving in February and have almost finished my advanced open water course, with just over 20 dives done. So basically, I'm a newbie, very much still finding my way in the underwater world. When I started I thought about underwater photography, but have been more...

G'day, I'm new to scuba diving, having completed my Open Water in February. Since then I've been buying gear and getting wet on pier dives, night pier dives and boat dives. Of course, right now I'm frustrated with having to hire gear and be diving in a different setup every time. But...
