    Friendly Stingrays

    Its been a difficult few years for diving in Sydney, Australia. COVID and bad weather impacted days in the water. But in some ways it was good to be reminded what a beautiful part of the world we live in....

    Reg goes missing during cave diving course

    1. My cave sidemount setup is B. 2. I also dive sidemount when diving solo open water with 7L tanks when taking pictures (shore dives). In this case I wear a necklace on my left reg. This IMO gives two advantages - one is covered in point 3 below. The other is that it simplifies the reg change...

    Quick 2-3 Minute Survey on Diving & Percieved Risk

    Liked your forms - please let us know the results. Not living in USA football to me means something else so that one's a bit country specific.

    Reg goes missing during cave diving course

    Reg goes missing during cave diving course

    lol - Yep - fully accept I should have checked it . However, attaching the mouthpiece to the reg by a ziptie seems very failable to me. I've seen them come off since on rentals but thankfully not in the water. No gear change, just loosened (somehow). Not all flaws are human and I strongly...

    Reg goes missing during cave diving course

    This incident happened about 5 years ago but has been on my mind. I'd quit a job and had a few weeks before starting my next job so decided to do a cave diving course in South Australia (I'm based in Sydney). I travelled down with my gear (sidemount) and met the instructor and fellow student...
