    UK diver in Brisbane area in June

    1. I dive a drysuit in winter here (June is our winter). Temps will get as low as 16-17 degrees Celsius. 2.

    highest probability emergency situations?

    For most new divers I think the simple mistake of getting lost underwater/swept away by current when boat diving can end up as an real emergency for a diver who isn't well prepared skill and equipment wise.

    Why is Nitrox so expensive (and so hard to get)?

    I'm a local diver from brissie and yes Nitrox is quite expensive here, and not every dive shop/operator can even provide it, although it is starting to be more and more popular over time. As Brisbane does not have a whole lot of deep technical dives, there is no real demand for it. Yet. The...

    Dive Sculpture Ideas needed!

    Hey everyone, So a few mates and I were recently discussing the idea of building a dive related sculpture out of PVC, timber and concrete and secretly under the cover of darkness, placing it at our local dive site for others to enjoy. We have access to a boat and a shore entry. The sculpture...
