G'day from Melbourne Australia

[Brett down under]

Hi there - newbie to this board. I first tried scuba as a ~14 year old when on holidays at a resort pool and really enjoyed it. Did my first discovery dive in Maui 10+ years ago, and got OW shortly after in Melbourne. Since then I've mainly just dived on holidays in Hawaii over the years (love the turtles in Waikiki). I wanted to get more into scuba this year, so did my AOW earlier this year and geared-up! My plan is to go about once a month. I've mainly done boat dives as I really enjoy wrecks and getting out on the water. Looking forward as we head into the warmer weather soon

Welcome. We'll have to compare notes on diving from Melbourne Florida vs. Melbourne Australia some time.

Welcome from across the ditch! I was literally just looking up water temperatures in Melbourne for future trip planning. Where we are at the top of New Zealand, our water temperatures are a few degrees warmer than yours over winter, but a few degrees cooler than Sydney.

Feels about right! I clocked 12.7 degrees a couple weeks ago… hoping for warmer waters in a couple of weeks.

How about a video from a trip to Bali in July?
