    Searching for a dive master internship.

    After speaking to several dive shops in brisbane and the gc, getting all your certs in thailand/philippines/malaysia etc doing a zero to hero WILL affect your likelihood of employment. I didn't say they won't hire you, but if there's a few people going for the position they are likely to choose...

    hero 3 white edition

    The black has a few extra perks but in terms of video quality I don't think the difference is notable, or even observable. My mates have all different colour gopros and all our footage looks identical. If you were planning on editing the video using some hardcore extreme editor it might be a...

    The requirement in QLD is to carry a snorkel when on a dive charter, not dive with one :) or at least its enforced that way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many fatal shark attacks to stop you diving

    Shark are worth more than a human life. Case in point: Humans kill sharks->ecosystem falls apart->more fish die->species become extinct->less food for said human->human relying on fish for food source dies. So yes they are more important ;) Foxfish is most likely a non-seafood eater with a...

    Fiji, Vanuatu and Australia in April-May

    No great whites or cage diving for them up in Queensland, that would be be done in South Australia. A few thousand km's south. Australia is very safe, especially the regions you will be travelling. I can't really comment on the diving up north or in fiji as I've had no experience with it (yet)...

    Diving Accident, Self-Responsibility and Balance

    I think raising the standards would create a higher fail rate on scuba courses and may adversely affect scubas (apparently declining??) popularity. = less customers for scuba shops and certification agencies. Just a thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Diving Accident, Self-Responsibility and Balance

    Going to the Phiippines late April

    Can you please elaborate on the diving at Tubattaha? Also, apart from wrecks, does Coron Bay have any other exciting dives or would it be worth visiting somewhere else like Malapascua? I'll only be in the Philippines for a week and a half and I would really love to dive the wrecks but I don't...
