Should dive medicals be mandatory? Simple question yes or no, though would be interested in your thoughts if no, if yes when should a dive have a medical? prior to a course, every year, 5 or 10 years etc I think this is a very important discussion the dive industry needs to have, particularly...

Discovery of a rare and endangered pink handfish on the wreck of the SS Tasman on the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania at a depth of 70m. The pink handfish has only been seen by divers on three other occasions. These are the first images of the pink handfish taken by divers in its natural...

The Boga wreck off Kubu, was scuttled in 2011 and sits with the stern in around 35m. However, beyond the wreck the bottom slopes away steeply into the Fish Bowl canyon to 55m plus. This video is of a dive, with assistance of scooters, down a narrow canyon off the shore to 85m, then across and...

Many divers who head to Bali and dive Tulamben have probably dived the Drop Off. Here is a video from my recent trip to Bali where we dived the Tulamben Drop Off to 100m using rebreathers and diver propulsion vehicle.

Like the title says what's the point. looks more like stomach mount than sidemount to me, may as well put a couple tanks on your back, or if you need to carry that much gas get a rebreather. I think someone is more interested in Insta hits than practical diving solutions.

While exploring deep reef in the 50-80m range we have discovered giant black coral trees, some standing in excess of 2m high. Until we started doing these dives this black coral was not known to exist in coastal SE Australia waters and is likely to be a new species. Below is a video put...

Hello, hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having with my GoPro 7, I am not happy with the quality of the footage I am getting, objects in the foreground looks soft around the edges and objects have some sort of halo around them. Below is some stills highlighting the issue. Anyone...

This discussion has been split off from Two new studies Yes looking forward to hearing more about the study, I have found the rEvo RMS very effective, though hardware has had it's problems but seem to be resolved now.

Has anyone used or seen the Scubalamp video lights particularly the V6K? see Scubalamp V6K LED Video Light If so what are your thoughts? Does the output match the rating? They are made by SUPE a Chinese electronic company . The price looks very attractive and great power at 12000 lumens...

Hello, I need to oxygen clean 6 lengths of 6m (20') 1/4" stainless steel tube for a gas mixing station we are building. What process/ method would you use to clean these long lengths of stainless steel tube? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Just got an email from Paul Raymakers saying rEvo has been sold to Mares, see below. After more than 10 years of creating, developing and growing rEvo, and knowing that none of my children will or can continue this business, I realized already some time ago that the only way to keep rEvo going...

Here is a GoPro video of a dive I recently did on Needle Rock near the Hippolyte Rocks off the coast of the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, Australia. The Needle Rock is a spectacular dive with the rock rising up steeply from 60m to within around a metre of the surface.

A mate of mine is setting up a gas mixing panel for a few of us to use, we also have a Bauer K14 compressor with a P41 filter stack. The trimix panel is large and complex, consists of two boosters AGT15/30 and AGT7/15(I think) built into it, the thing is a work of art (see pictures below). It...

Hey compressor gurus, The P-41 filter on our K14 compressor has been in place for a little over three years and has done around 50hrs in that time. I am interested to know how long you would expect the P-41 filter will last? thanks James.
