New Boy From Tassie.

That's Tasmania, Australia, the little triangular bit off the bottom right of the map, but if you don't remember seeing it, don't worry, we are used to be left off the map.

All my diving is pretty local (or within 200kms), we dive in the ocean, it's pretty chilly most of the year (11-18 degrees C), vis is pretty good, 15-30m as a rule, lots of wildlife, caves and very scenic but as we are missed out from many maps, not many ships get down here and the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine never came down here, so we don't have many wrecks to dive on.

Like California though, we do have Giant Kelp Forests, Great White Sjharks (so I'm told) and seals but unlike California, we have great beer too.

These are some local dive centre webpages, just to give you an idea of what it's like here:

On the Tasman Peninsula, about an hour's drive for me

And a little further North (2-3 hours)

WElcome to scubaboard TD. The Trickie Dickie 99 caught my eye, as in my old days of racing there was a guy here in the states who was Dick Trickle and his car number was 99. Welcome

You're not wrong there; I'm a pom too and have been putting up with a fair old bating since the start of November. What I'd like to know is who in the coaching team told our blokes that sweep/reverse sweep works against spin. :shakehead

Hi James,

Nah mate, I'm diving Sunday, you're doing Saturday aren't you?

Took Dan out at Cray Point tonight, get him shaken out a bit for the weekend. 2m vis very scungy.

I thought the avatar was if anything, a bit underexposed, :mooner: but it will have to do I suppose. Do you like the profile pic too?

I suppose this means I can't put any more photos on here until I get my own camera?

Richard
