The Scene of the crime
by Antonella Gambotto added 2004-03-24
After weeks of flawless sunshine, it resumed bucketing (biblical winds, surfers hanging ten in bird baths, etc.) the night before the repeated last day of my Open Water Course. The first course was aborted after my instructor, a man who made Hannibal Lecter look like Mike Brady, left me alone in scaly grey chop for twenty or so minutes ...

My Day with Mantas
by Keren Stretch added 2004-03-17
Coming to Australia I had no illusions about how good the diving could be. We have been hearing how good the Barrier Reef is for years now, and it is good, but has anyone heard of The Coral Coast ('Where is that?' - I hear you ask) ...
Just another day in Byron Bay
by Wandy Hochgrebe added 2004-01-28
Starting up and running a Divers Retreat here in Byron Bay has been the best decision ever. Talking to our guests about something I am passionate about is just great. You understand their enthusiasm about experiencing something new and of course most of them have fantastic stories to tell themselves on where to go and what they have seen.
Scuba Diving - My Love and Passion
by Fergy added 2004-01-26
I remember looking at a dive magazine at work a few years back and a colleague who was a scuba diver started telling me about his scuba diving experiences. I showed an interest in what he was talking about and he gave me a few books on the subject ...

The Rip is the name given to that renowned stretch of water at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, separating Points Lonsdale and Nepean. This area can be one of the most dangerous stretches of water on our continent, but at times can be so peaceful and calm that one could not envisage the hundreds of ships which have been lost in its vicinity.

For those that live and dive in the temperate water of Victoria we are blessed with an abundance of readily accessible sea food - just waiting to be picked up - abalone, crayfish, scallops.
Becoming a Diver
by Wandy Hochgrebe added 2003-12-12
... diving gives you the opportunity to explore a world that is vastly different to ours. The oceans are so rich with life and have a huge variety of living organisms, all adapted to their little habitats. Most of the creatures you will find, look more like aliens than something you might expect to encounter on this planet ...
In search of KAT
by Blaze added 2003-12-06
Diving in Paradise is a sport I am lucky to do most weeks and in many cases, daily. Paradise is a tiny horseshoe shaped coral atoll in the middle of the Indian Ocean. For those who haven't a clue where I'm talking about - take out your atlas, draw a horizontal line out from Darwin ...

So little girl you want to dive with whales?
by Ric Mingramm added 2003-12-03
Back in the dim past when I was allowed to dive at my leisure and we didn't have kids, the other half actually used to get wet quite often. Being the generous provider that I am I was nearly always able to swing our holidays to a place that was close to or driving distance to the water ...
Hey Dude where's my pic?
by Ric Mingramm added 2003-12-02
Having press ganged my adoring fiancee into completing a scuba course, in the off chance that we would honeymoon at a diving location, I then had to put up with tears and fears as she battled her way through the fear of sharks, embellism, sea snakes, jelly fish, piranha ...
