Aussie Diving June 1 - 15

Wow Sas, the water looked really calm there! I'm glad that we are not the only ones losing sleep to go diving.

Why do you hate Cray diving? The one in the pic looks biiiig!

AW, is that true about 100% O2?

Yea was rougher inside the bay this day! Crossing the Heads can be hairy - one of the most dangerous crossings in the world I believe. Currents get up to 10 knots. That is why there are so many shipwrecks to dive here!

I hate cray diving as it is really boring. I have to sit and watch my buddy's gear and SPG whilst he is wedged under a ledge. I hate seafood so have no interest in catching them personally. I would rather be doing the dive than sitting around watching someone under a ledge. The one in the picture is fairly small, just over legal size. Probably the angle of the photo

You need 100% O2 + IV to cure a hangover

Check out the UW photo area here on SB for ideas and click the link in my sig for the compilation of all the good stuff you need to know (and some that you don't *need* to know but that might be fun to look through).

Ask your question in the main uw photo area along with your budget, diving experience and goals and you'll get lots of help for specific models, too.
