NSW don't cull sharks. It was dodgy circumstances either way you look at it. Multiple shark sightings for days, she was swimming in a group then fell behind and turned around to swim back by herself. Shark must have been peckish. Sad though, but completely preventable without the need for...

Hahahaha that video is freaking hilarious!!!!! Perfect summary of the shark cull. Love it! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

G'day everyone, So due to work requirements I have to be in Sydney for two weeks later on this month. This means one thing: East Coast Scuba trip!! I'm thinking of driving down from Brissy to Sydney and diving some spots on the list, and diving the rest of them on the way home. Each trip split...

The wreck near brisbane is called 'ex-HMAS Brisbane'. A very nice wreck dive and fully penetrable. Sits at 28m upright in sand. Purposely scuttled about ten years ago to be a diving wreck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I cut and polished a piece of sheet stainless steel is attached to my wetnotes to back up as a reflector. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My guess would be that a spool is used for a variety of reasons, so it would be easier to have them separate as you may want to use your spool without a smb (wreck, jon line etc). I'm sure someone will give you a more credible answer soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1200 euros for accomodation, dm certificate, a months worth of unlimited (up to 3 times a day) diving and valuable on the job experience? Sounds like a bargain to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello Looking to get opinions on HOG regs. I am tossing up between D1, D1 Cold or a D2 cold 1st stage to go along with my D1 second stage. I dive primarily temperate waters however I will be progressing to colder waters in a few years. I dive a long hose setup and at the moment only...

I am currently in the process if writing a script and looking at what is involved production wise so i would be interested in this as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Scubaworld reported 5-10m today, but their weather forecast for this coming weekend is very promising. They have a facebook page for diving forecasts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know where you buy your dive gear diversteve, but in most online dive shops and indeed the dive shops in my area, BP/W setups are ridiculously cheaper. Perhaps this is why diveshops prefer to sell jacket bc's. Afterall, they have to make money somehow and sales is the greatest profit for...

Hi mikeynl I'm also looking at completing a DM internship. Here's an example of what I've found to help you on your search comparing prices and whats included etc Divedownbelow Dive location: Borneo, Malaysia Includes: DM crewpack, gear hire, accommodation (single room with ensuite), daily...

Hahaha that first video is hilarious. What a friendly looking shark ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use a tub and am in the process of making wheels and a handle for it (for ease of pulling it around from the car to charter boats if it's a fair walk). For shore diving the bin goes straight in the back of the car with all my gear apart from camera. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damon, If you read my post properly you will see I did not mention anything about improper training. I merely stated that dive shops here would rather employ DM's and Instructors who are locally trained. Yes, diving in Australia is bloody expensive, I'm not denying that. And there may be zero...

Excellent write up! Thank you for your detailed answer. After thinking about it I have to agree with your point of view completely. And yes i did find it very impressive ;) I am yet to undergo any tech training but I am hoping to take fundies soon. I hope my training will be as intense and...

Wow I'm impressed. A few questions then. How do you read your gauges to fulfill deco obligations without a mask? Under what diving circumstances/environments do you feel carrying a spare mask is essential or outweighs the (very negligible) inconvenience of carrying it? Why is carrying a spare...

Wouldn't any deco dive be potentially life threatening if you've lost your mask? Applying your logic to this would mean that any/all deco dives is not a suitable choice for scuba. I dive in temperate open ocean environments and I still carry a spare mask just in case. If my computer fails, I...
