    What about the word 'muppet'?

    Also used along those lines in Australia. I'm sure we've all had to deal with muppets from time to time. The other one you may hear on the rare occasion is "gumby" - less chaos and more incompetence.

    Solo at night?

    A small light ( personally I prefer it when the batteries are old so it isn't too bright) strapped to your mask makes life much easier for reading gauges or if you need to do something with both hands you still have enough light in the right area. Pretty sure it hasn't been mentioned here yet...

    AN AMERICAN man was killed in a shark attack while diving off Rottnest Island, Perth

    Yes Great White Shark attacks are very much a "seasonal thing" here in WA. During this time of year the annual Humpback Whale migration is taking place - the Humpbacks are returning to Southern waters after giving birth to young further up north. During the migration GWS follow the migration. So...

    Quick question from a newb about air integrated computers

    All comes down to a matter or redundancy which is a personal issue, and what type of diving you are doing. Most computers or the manual for them give you an idea on the battery life (in hours normally) you would expect them to work for. From my experience this is normally pretty accurate...

    Hollis F1 Fin - Color Anyone??

    Had a very small spray painting job to knock off today. So added a little bit of colour to the F-1's. Not sure if the paint will stick very well, but some over spray a while back has stayed on so it might just work. Yes I could have painted the Hollis brand up the top, but...

    Fin Recommendations?

    Just going to throw another fin into the mix, the Hollis F1. Just moved from Oceanic V-16s, to a the Hollis F1 - mainly because I'm using a camera setup with two strobes and I started to notice the lack of power(extra drag due to the camera setup) with the V-16s. Never had a problem...
