    Diving Fin Recommendations, please!

    I'm not sure if your being serious or not but I'll give you my advice anyway. I dive split fins at the moment and am currently making the jump to the shorter rubber fins. I dive using Apollo Bio Fins. (Split fins) During your standard dive these fins are awesome. With not too much current these...

    Human rights to dolphins?

    I completely agree with you there. You may have seem how i feel about all of this on the Taiji Dolphin thread. Dolphins are amazingly intelligent and what have you but until they start paying tax I'm going yo have to disagree on the whole 'non-human' rights thing. ;) Sent from my iPhone...

    Diving Fin Recommendations, please!

    Thanks for the advice mate. Im trying to test drive all three fins but as there isn't a huge amount of dive shops in australia which stock these fins its hard to borrow them to try them out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How about DiveRite XT/EXP vs Hollis F1's vs Hollis F2's? Not to worries about weight for travelling etc just the performance aspects and something that won't give me cramps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Diving Australia in April (GBR, Cairns, Around Darwin?)

    Darwin doesnt have a whole lot To offer for diving. You can dive there but its very tidal, vis will never be anymore than 3-5m. April is a good time to dive. Heading towards winter for us which is when the water tends to clear up and be more predictable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2 Finnish divers dead, 3 injured in Plurdalen / Norway

    I don't to change the subject but can someone please quickly explain why it would be safer to switch to OC during the deeper part of the dive? I don't dive Rebreather so I'm a little stumped. Cheers Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you learn on the wreck diving course?

    Wow!!! Hey Jim if your ever in Australia and feel like running a wreck course I would most certainly be interested!!!! Wreck diving courses here seem like child's play compared to the way you run yours. Mike

    Can I jump start my career as a PADI certified Scuba Instructor?

    Hey mate, From what I've heard/read getting a job as a DM/Instructor wouldn't be too difficult depending on where abouts you are looking for employment. Traveling to an overseas destination would probably be easier to get a job as DM's and Instructor are constantly going in/out. I think getting...

    Pony or primary?

    So if he was stressed you would keep him on your primary and ascend with him and risk the other diver going into full blown panic mode and endangering your life? Wouldn't handing off your pony be safer for you at least? Im currently doing my rescue course and there seems to be a very large...

    Pony or primary?

    So for example if the vis was 10m, little current, no obstacles and the other diver was not panicked? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pony or primary?

    Quick scenario: Your diving solo and a diver approaches you signaling OOA. Your equipped with a 7ft primary, bungeed backup and a pony bottle (lets say a slung 40cuft). You still have 100bar, close to your boat at a depth of 25m. Would you donate your primary, wait till the diver signaled that...
