I know this post is almost 7 years old, but am I correct in assuming that tbone is referring to the same Add Helium that is the subject of a 33 page post for selling re-breathers to Libya ?

I suspect your s/s nuts and bolts will corrode before your carbon fibre backplate https://www.corrosionpedia.com/galvanic-corrosion-of-metals-connected-to-carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymers/2/1556 Stainless Steel There is no evidence of the formation of corrosion for stainless steels coupled to...

As a matter of interest what does a Dive Centre need to do to become a 5 star dive centre ? Cheers

An interesting article on prices on imported goods are going up due to shipping cost, Banana Ships And The Hidden Fees Of Ship Cargo

Don’t do it you will get wet 🌨🌨🌨😁True story, I was doing a cave diving course at Ewens Pomds, everyone was pretty much geared up when it started raining, we all jumped in our cars. After a few minutes I wound down my window and yelled out how stupid was this, we are all in wet suits.We all...

Did a live aboard with Mike Ball out of Cairns in January, from memory we were told you would be isolating in your cabin for the rest of the trip, if you were COViID positive. Everyone, guests and crew, had to do a RAT at the office before boarding

Looks like 1789 was the year for HMS…. . Still a nice bit of work for the discoverers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_Majesty%27s_Ship

I had a gig quite a few years ago, driving the rescue boat for drag racing here in Oz, @Bob DBF link summarised what happened pretty well. The differences were that the rescue boat also had a firefighting capability and carried a paramedic. The drag boat races were like car drag races in that...

Bring a diver of a certain age Mike Nelson and Sea Hunt was certainly a source of (dis?) information. I am pretty sure IWR featured in a couple of episodes. Note edited as the first post was blank

If you plan on a GBR trip then I agree with @shearcaigh that the Yongala is an awesome wreck dive. Cairns to Alva Beach, where Yongala Dive are, is about a five and a half drive fromCairns, but give yourself a few days there, the site is very exposed and weather dependant

What are you interested in, wrecks or fish diving?

Good dry air fills help.

Police are reported as investigating if the drugs were attached to the outside of the ship, which make sense, given the circumstances. Would this be classified as a rebreather death?

Jus wondering how long the mother has been active on the Facebook group,and wah most of her posts are like. I would really like to think the FB posts are some ones idea of a bad joke, or trolling to get a respons, cheers

Sorry, just re read the original post and saw the comment about the kit coming with screws. Is the cover intact, I am surprised the screw sheared without damaging the battery cover

the female looks like a threaded metal insert into a plastic case, and really tiny. I would go down the jeweller road myself, but you still have to get a bolt small enough , diameter and length to go in the hole. plan B would be glue it down and throw it out when the time comes for the next...

Laying her down usually means putting the bike on is side while moving, I had to lay her down usually means the rider had a choice of hitting something at speed or putting the bike on its side so it is sliding down the road and decided that was the safer option

Off topic, but I have personally experienced a burst disc failing, weeks after being filled, in the middle of the night after an average day temperature wise. It was like something out of the exorcist.

Leave a bouy/ float connected to the boat (bitter) end of your anchor line (rode): that way you can just throw the whole lot over board. If the anchor is fouled multiple competent people may not be able to retrieve it

The other variable here is how long it will take for something to disappear into 4 foot of silt. I once dived in a marina with a very silty bottom looking for a propeller. It turns out the hub was still on the shaft but the blades has sheared off probably when the boat went into gear. I found...
