Hi James thanks for the reply
Where ? In the water usually most of the time on Sydneys Nth Shore.

When ? On weekends I work full time in town during the week.

How often ? Every Weekend.

With whom do you dive in sydney ? When I am not teaching privatley, I usually through Frog Dive Willoughby and Atlantis Divers down at Palm Beach.

What about yourself ?

Guess it's winter down there now. Are dry suits needed where u r now, or just a thick wetsuit?

HI Art Chick Depends where you are Diving on the on the Eastern Side of Australia down south Dry Suits or 7mm, here in Sydney 7mm or a Semi Dry, up North on the GBR in Cairns you can still dive in a shorty.

SD - i DM for a shop in Roseville sometimes. just freelancing really. they have their own upcoming DMs but sometimes need me. which is great cos i get to dive frequently. i would however like to get more dives in.
frog dive - my friend worked there for a couple months earlier this year, Dave a pommie. i also dived with them once but since i get free dives with the other shop i go with them. i am waiting for my tax-return so i can but new reg and BC, so may go to frog for some work. the reason is because i would like to look further into tech diving (maybe do a nitrox course) and the guys at frog are so experienced.
if u need a DM to help u ever and cant find anyone, then give me shout. always keen.
booga_roo - mate, i dive in that water!!! not cricket!
art-chick - last weekend the water got to 15 degrees C. cold enough for me. i got a 5+5 semi-dry(wet) and feel chilly after 35mins. good vis though!
