Sure do

That's a great idea, your donated gear would have to be better than some of the staff gear sets I've seen in remote areas of Indo and PNG :oops:

Just in case… There’s an amazing Turkish charcoal grill kebab joint KATIK nearby in Barry Rd we used to go there every Friday 🍴

Yes you won't get anywhere near the same quality dive sites on a day trip. Check out Mike Ball Dive Expeditions and Spoilsport... they have a range of options but you may have to stretch your intended stay to take best advantage. https://www.mikeball.com/liveaboard-scuba-diving-australia/

All jokes aside, All About SCUBA is in Coolaraoo a Northern Melbourne suburb right near my former workplace and where I get my tanks tested and filled. I've been on a tour of their upstairs service department and it is pretty impressive... several spotless fully equipped technician booths with...

Sadly in Australia you are far more likely to find the instructors look like this...

Yep you nailed it Rob! Welcome to the Nanny State... where all SCUBA tanks must also be given an annual hydro and stamped or no-one will fill them. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions...

Does that apply if you are a solo traveller, willing to twin share or only for those who want to be guaranteed a single berth in a twin cabin?

@Pressurehead seeing as we are going so impressively OT, here's a whole thread on Ted Eldred and the Porpoise :D https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/porpoise-ca-1-regulator.573147/

The main difference I can find is the DBE has an angled face for the mushroom valve seat vs the Kraken which is nearly parallel to the LP demand diaphragm. I’ve fitted a couple of RAMs with the DBE which worked fine, vs continued trouble with my Kraken till I changed the exhaust valve for the...

OK I'm in Melbourne but the answers will be the same for Sydney.. 1) Analogue gauges are in BAR and Metres, have been for decades... you won't find any imperial gauges for sale unless vintage second hand https://adreno.com.au/search?type=product&q=pressure+gauge 2) Most major US and EU brands...

I had very good results using available light at snorkel depths just using Auto Magic Filters with an adaptor for both my GoPro and a housed Canon S95 http://www.magic-filters.com/

Yes that was what I said in my post above 🤷🏻‍♂️

Once you know about the fitment trick, those fiddly little -003's take seconds to fit even the 90 Shore A! Lubricate the new o-ring, put the poppet in an appropriate 1/4" drive socket and use the extension piece as a handle. Put the o-ring on a pencil eraser, push the poppet onto the o-ring at...

Hi Matt Yes still have a couple left, DM me for details.

The alternative mindset here with Poseidon is due to all the horror stories of the expense and difficulty in getting them serviced people simply never do! Dive them till they stop working and sell on eBay wanting top dollar because of the Poseidon cachet. 4 out of 5 regs with the first stage...

In Australia its even worse that US$48 service kit is AU$73 plus you can add AU$90 for Christolube for the environmental sealing on a B2-T2-T3. Plus a LDS Ti tax (they actually admitted if you owned a Ti T2/T3 you could afford whatever they charged to service it), after all life support systems...

It was the outrageous price that I was quoted to get two Atomic regs serviced here in Australia that triggered me to buy a couple of special tools and OEM service kits and service them myself! Never looked back... even with the cost of buying the tools I was still in front! However be warned it...

Mooching about on the SCUBA Museum site revealed an updated Kraken exhaust valve is now available to correct the 'sticktion' issue to the main LP diaphragm: On some very specific circumstances a wet exhaust valve inside the Kraken can, can become stuck to the main diaphragm rendering the...
