Ok... I believe when dungies reach maturity they only molt once a year compared to about six times a year as juveniles. So I would guess they're juveniles, because I don't think the adults molt this time of year (that would make it bad timing for the beginning of crabbing season IMO - could be...

He went yesterday? Season just opened up today. Thanks for the info guys, like I said I was aware of the general regulations, just wanted to make sure that nothing was different when diving. Looks like it isn't. Mustang - already dug two 5 gallon buckets of clams, and the neighbors have...

I've been crabfishing my whole life in the sound, both with traps and by hand in tide flats. Crab season opens on Monday, and this will be my first summer in the sound as a diver... I know all the WDFW regulations as they pertain to trapping crab, but I'm struggling to find any info from WDFW...

I live in Mukilteo... I see you are in Woodinville, which is where I grew up. Anywhere between Seattle and Everett is ideal.

Anyone know a good one?

Are there any PADI instructor development courses in Fiji? I only found one on padi.com (Taveuni Dive) but it appears they only do the IDC once a year, in March. PADI's dive center location tool (Find a dive shop, scuba diving shop, dive resort or scuba dive shop) is buggy to say the least...

Here's the full scoop, just in case anyone out there is interested in the same thing as me: A ship's master is considered to be a "skilled occupation" in high demand that will qualify a foreigner to obtain a Skilled Migration Visa. (http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1.pdf) The...

Thanks - I saw basically the same thing on the MSQ (Maritime Safety Queensland) web site. Introduction to a career in the maritime industry (Maritime Safety Queensland) So I was pretty sure that I could get an Australian license even as an American... although, I don't ONLY want to work in...

Hi Wookie - surely you would be the first to answer, after browsing the forums on this subject, I quoted you and asked you a question on another more recent thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/becoming-captain/423602-international-license.html The captains I worked with in Australia were...

I was the chef on a couple liveaboards in the great barrier reef - the captains I worked with were from all over the world. How does this work? I find it hard to believe that Americans can ONLY work in America, etc... Like the original poster, I don't usually stay in one place for too long...

What is the international recognition of a USCG license? I'm American, but don't want to restrict my employment options to the USA. I spent time working on some liveaboards in Australia and would like to go back - could I, for example, get a USCG license and then get a job as a skipper in...

Jack's tank rentals do in fact still include unlimited free refills!

You're probably not going to make it to the GBR and back to Sydney by land in that time frame, at least not with any time left to take your non-diving girlfriend to do non-diving stuff. What's worse is that the best dive sites (IMO) happen to be the ones furthest north, and on the outer reef...

I've heard that time spent as a divemaster or instructor on a dive boat counts toward the sea service requirement for a skipper's license in Queensland. Anyone know if this is true?
