To be pedantic the article says “compression bottle”, but news.com.au has never been famous for accurate reporting. The local paper in Geelong may have more information but it is behind a paywall when I try to access it...

Enjoy Tasmania, it is a really lovely place, the water will be damned cold compared to Fiji. The temperature in Northern Bass Strait is 14C or about 57F at the moment. Just a hint, don’t tell Tasmanians you have been to Australia, tell them you have been to Sydney or Cairns on your way to...

Tasmanians have been known to be a bit touchy about things like being left off the map of Australia, Does Australia/Tasmania mean you will be in Tasmania or Australia and Tasmania 😁😁😁

I once worked for a winery in Mildura ( which was 4 to5 hour drive from the nearest diveable water, the Murray does not count as diveable). Part of my package was a carton of wine a month. Occasionally there would be an informal tasting session on a Friday night, which was very pleasant...

It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall at the handover meeting. Let’s see how long it takes the commercial guys to find it again, assuming they can

I am pretty sure theJapanese didn’t get that close to Darwin 😁, according to Historical Firearms - Type 98 320mm Mortar During the Second World War... only had a range of about 1000 yards. Darwin was bombed multiple times during WW2 and was used as a supply base, so it could be something...

According to an English Marine Accident Investigation Branch report an English fishing vessel was damaged and crew injured in 2019 when crab pots disturbed a UXB https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/61e6a244d3bf7f054a1da1a3/Galwad-Y-Mor-Report.pdf .

While looking through the links in some of the posts, I came across an article in the 2000 summer edition of the American Lifeguard magazine. https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.usla.org/resource/resmgr/american_lifeguard_magazine/2000_summer.pdf it seemed to say that the main problem with attracting...

The potential uses are endless, if not illegal in a lot of cases. Bank vaults, tree felling, bridge destruction

My partner tested positive at the end at of March, and I was was symptomatic and tested positive 4 or 5 days later, and sick for two weeks. I got my Doctor ( not a diving doc) to check my lungs were clear and we dived in Fiji at the end of June, I seemed to be a bit heavier on air, and my...

I may be missing something here, but I always thought you were meant to analyze your own tanks, when diving anything else than air

From past experience a Suunto DC will “punish” you for being deeper than the ceiling on a deco stop. I have found that being at 5m when the ceiling says 3m,results in a 5 min stop being upwards of 7 or 8 minutes, depending on the dive. Other divers I know who have acquired a deco obligation have...

We just got from Taveuni, my partner booked Melbourne Taveuni, on the one ticket, our checked baggage allowance was 30Kg. We were weighed with our carry on in Nandi and Taveuni. I suspect that was more about the max takeoff weight of the twin otter. We were easily under 30kg, even with the 5mm...

Hi, After booking on the Emperor Atoll, the travel company “upgraded “ us to the Emperor Virgo, as the EA was not sailing. Just wondering if anyone has recent experience with the EV. I am wondering if all ships are company owned or if it is a franchise. cheers

Thanks

Thanks for the information @Tippytoes12 , greatly appreciated
