Agree with Tinytechie - definitely use Pacific Divers. I spent 2 weeks on Rarotonga in October 2000, and did 4 dives a day with Chrissy from Pacific Divers. The coral was a bit tired but the marine life was stunning - eels, turtles, nudibranchs, sharks and many many tropical fish. On my...

The company I work for operates day trips to the Great Barrier Reef out of Townsville in North Queensland, Australia. The boat is not a designated dive boat, it is actually a 30metre catamaran that offers passengers the opportunity for snorkelling, glass bottom boat experience and marine...

If you're headed down the coast, you can do the snorkelling day trips out of Townsville (4.5 hours south of Cairns). Sunsea Cruises do a day trip to the GBR, and also have a glass bottom boat and marine biology presentation on board. Beautiful big boat, MV Reef Cat, has capacity for 200 but...

Hi Littleguppie It sounds like you're doing a Mike Ball dive trip... if this is the case, you will be quite comfortable in terms of towels because they provide both towels for bathing and towels for drying off after your dives (they have a clothers dryer on board so you get toasty warm towels...

To all of Erin's family and friends, I'm so very pleased to hear that her Dad is with her now and that she is showing signs of physical recovery. I am also proud of the ScubaBoard members who have been more concerned about Erin's health rather than what skills (or lack thereof) may have...

What a sad day.... Diver's body pulled from sea July 27, 2008 - 3:17PM The body of a scuba diver has been pulled from the water on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula. Senior Constable Terry Rodgers of Queenscliff Police said the man aged in his early 40s was pulled from the water by...

I can't help but think you're being a bit harsh. As someone who crewed a boat going there, you would know that the wreck lies on the ocean floor with very little protection from extremely strong currents that occur fairly frequently. I too have dived the Yongala more times than I can count...

Welcome to the board! If you were headed down under you would probably have luck finding shark's teeth at the Shark Cave off Maroubra in Sydney. Beautiful dive site with (critically endangered) grey nurse sharks frequenting the cave, which is really more like an overhang. Good luck!

Welcome aboard! It's nice to see some more aussies on the Board. Cheers

Hi Old Prop Welcome to the Board! Curious to know where your started your diving in Australia? Nice to have you aboard. Cheers

Hi Peter Welcome to the Board. I've done a few dives out of Jervis Bay in the past 10 years. Actually the last wobbegong I saw was at The Docks (I think that was the site's name). Have you ever dived with seals out of the heads? I've heard of them but never actually done it. Anyway...

I read this article in the local Townsville newspaper today, and since I couldn't locate it online, I thought I would type it up for you. It's a dive incident at the Yongala wreck 90km southeast of Townsville (where Tina Watson was "murdered" by Gabe Watson). I've not heard any updates on this...

I'm a Rescue Diver living in Townsville, Queensland. I've dived the Yongala a number of times... The word around town is that Mr Watson was seen by a witness from a different boat (Jazz III) holding Mrs Watson in a bear hug with her face close to his chest for several minutes. It has been...

Welcome to the Board - I've just returned after a few months hiatus, and now that I'm back I can't remember why I stayed away so long....? The knowledge on this Board is definitely hard to match. Cheers & see you in the Forums!

Just had another look at your website - the way you captured the true colour of that flame file urchin is amazing!!

beautiful little minke!!

I dived with Pacific Divers on Rarotonga in 2000 and found them brilliant - safe and knowledgeable. And they give you mints after each dive :-)

MJH - you have given me the fever here!!! Those shots are so beautiful it sends chills down my spine!! Will now have to spend the next few hours researching cage diving with GW's in South Australia....:love2: Thanks for sharing your amazing photos. Cheers

Those little squid are amazing camoflagers!
