    Fiji - Flights and Diving

    I'm used to doing my holidays at the top end of the scale - business class flights, 4-5 star resorts, etc - so the amount didn't surprise me. I did have all my reciepts and vouchers, too. In fact, that was my saving grace - I could show the hotel that I had booked and paid through Coral Seas...

    Fiji Diving Holiday - My experience

    I've just had a mixed experience on a dive trip to Fiji. The dive operator was really good and the diving was great, but the mob in Aus who put the trip together, Coral Seas Travel, dropped the ball. I paid a little under $6000.00 for an 'everything included' week of diving in a four and a...

    Fiji holiday: Matava & Naigani

    I've just got back from Fiji. There's a dive operator called Koro Sun Dive in Savusavu that is very good - Colin Skipper runs it. The 'related' hotel, Koro Sun Resort, is OK for what it is... It's clean, the food is great, and the staff a very friendly. However, there are no phones, TV's...

    headaches after deeper dives

    Be carefull about using sinus medication.... If it wears off while you're down you can end up with a reverse squeeze. Also, little is known about the effects of these meds under water... mixing with higher concentrations of nitrogen and ozygen under preasure, etc. The manufacturers don't...

    Truk Lagoon 2005

    I was doing 4-5 dives a day in shorts and t-shirt.... If anything I was more comfortable than when I was diving a 1mm on the first day. The water was about 25-30C at 40-50m..... the suit was just annoying during my surface interval. Boyancy and control is the issue..... If you brush...

    Triple Tank, Triple Manifolds!

    G'day Dani, The ABS has been sold.... I was surprised at the amount of interest in it, to be honest. It didn't get listed on eBay. It was sold on word of mouth, so to speak. Regards, Bob.

    Do I have a sign on my head?

    I've had a similar experience here in Aus. I walked into a real estate agent and asked to speak to a salesperson and was told "The rental counter is over there." Given I had just settled the sale of my previous house (in another state) and had cash to spend on my 'new' home, it was a...

    Truk Lagoon 2005

    No wetsuit is needed at Truk. Wear a rash suit or supersuit to protect your skin from scratches if you feel you need it. Last time I was in Truk I wore shorts and a t-shirt. The Truk Continental hotel is one (only?) hotel on land. Just friendly reminder.... The wrecks at Truk are all...

    G'day from the Land of Oz

    G'day all, I found this site by accident and I'm happy I did. I'm an 'old school' diver from Australia, been diving for about twenty years and stopped actively logging dives back in the 1990's. I'm into wrecks, mostly war/mil wrecks.

    Triple Tank, Triple Manifolds!

    I have one of these ABS units, complete and working. I've been diving it since 1991. As luck would have it, I have just been taking photos of the unit ready to list it on eBay. Update: I've tried several times to upload the pics but it hasn't worked....
