I do have a feeling it might be the latter case, however I don’t have them back yet. My husband spoke to the dive shop and wasn’t super clear on the details. It’s a reputable shop we’ve dealt with a lot and I will be double checking everything with the owners once I get my head around it. It is...

Sent both of ours for service only to be told that they are both beyond repair. They are only a couple of years old and have been well looked after. I liked them well enough but expected better longevity.

We made the mistake of buying Apeks Flights. Now I’m here trying to work out what to replace them with.... sounds like I need to get on the Scubapro website and have a look around. If anyone has recommendations I’m chasing travel friendly, light second stage, suitable for both air integration...

Yongala Dive - second that! Definitely include this on your itinerary. I'm fairly sure they run a lodge there you can stay at too.

We went out recently with Byron Bay Dive, enjoyed it thoroughly. They are mainly geared to tourist divers though, didn't really have an area set aside for clients who brought their own kit for a couple of days diving. The 50 minute limit on dives didn't worry us - water temp of 20*C meant that...

14! Egads I don't know how I would cope with that, heat packs down the semi dry maybe??

Resurrecting an old thread to see if anyone has updated info. We are contemplating are trip across the ditch in November and just starting some research. The first thing I have come across is "dive the 5" an operation that organise travel, accommodation and diving on the 5 big sites in the north...

Welcome another Aussie :) there's a few of us about.

The immunologist that first prescribed it for me summarised it as the least toxic of all the immunomodulators, which seems to work fairly selectively on the over active facets of the immune system. As long as your liver can metabolise the drug effectively it is relatively safe at the dosages...

Steroids are good, but unfortunately a short term solution. I gave up on Dermatologists and went to an immunologist. I'm on my third course of imuran - I take it for 12-18 months and everything comes good for 4 or 5 years, magic stuff.

I have always suffered severe atopic eczema, and the ocean has always been one of my #1 treatments. Sun exposure is also good for me, I have even had a dermatologist tell me to 'go and get a tan' - not advocating sunburn but UV light therapy is also a recognised treatment for eczema, and much...

Welcome - the diving scene in Perth is getting better and better, if you haven't already check out the forum on WA Divers ( wadivers.com.au) the folks there are great. Fave dive shop would have to be Dolphin in Welshpool. Unfortunately for me we are in Qld now and haven't had any decent time in...

Welcome, there's a few of us Aussies kicking around :)

I miss Darwin, such a magic place. The diving wasn't bad if you got more than a metre of vis!

Welcome to the magical underwater world! It's nice to see people from other countries on Scubaboard, and its a great source of information for all of us.

Hi Mike Australia is awesome but expensive for, well everything really! Where are you moving from? Where in Oz are you coming too? Australia has such a diverse climate that gear would be dependant on where you would predominantly be diving. Be aware that prices for gear in Australia may be...

I take two a day, every day and I have never had an issue.

You can see the boxies, it's those stinkin irukanji you've gotta worry about! Well that's if the saltwater platypus doesn't get you first..

Welcome to scubaboard. The diving community in WA is awesome, and there is some fantastic diving right on your doorstep. If you haven't already found it WA Divers is a great local forum that can answer many of your questions and hook you up with buddies. SB is useful for more educational stuff...

The diving there is amazing though, much better than the GBR here in Australia.
