Welcome to the board. In Southern California it is terrific. Lots of kelp forrest and rock reefs. Cool 54-67 degree water.
Welcome! How ya goin? I recently returned from a trip along the East coast... Melbourne to Cairns, and dove the GBR... loved it! It's certainly very different diving here in Vancouver (and much colder

Hey, that sounds like the Diving in Victoria. 100ft kelp, sea lions, cool water and Great Whites! I don't know if you are aware, but the biggest shark ever caught was caught off the coast of Victoria, off the top of my head it was 22ft and 2.5 tonnes, she was a big fat girl. Very fond of sea lions I think. You can buy pictures of her in the 'Isle of Wight' pub, on Phillip Island.She was caught not far from where we regularly dive, a place called Flinders.pasley:
Seriously though, I've never seen a real shark in Vic. Flinders jetty is where you go to see weedy sea Dragons, the other end of the scale.

G'day from another Melbournite. Did my first dive at Flinders about 2 months ago - lots of weedies, but no leafies.

I'm going to try some of that "down under diving" in October. Texas diving is well ..... diving, it's getting wet that counts.

Hi from the other side of the world! Not sure how sexy scuba is perceived to be over here (especially how some of us look like in a wetsuit, myself included
), but I do sometimes get a look of awe from people when I describe it.

Welcome to SB! Maybe some day I can experience Australian diving and determine if it's "sexy".
