If you're not certified prior to arriving in Sydney, the only diving you'll be doing is snorkelling. try Catching the Manly ferry from circular Harbour next to the Opera house and walk around to Shelley Beach. It's where all the Scuba Trainees go for their first OW check-out dives, nice little...

Dived this wreck a few years back and it's a good aircraft wreck dive, only minutes from the Dive ops in Vila. Also nearby is the wreck of a iron clad clipper called 'The Star of Russia' @ 80ft, she's all ribs and keel, but you can still find a seat in the 'Heads' There's also a WW11 US...

And let's get this 'beaut' porthole off, managed afew of those over the years! But anything to do with War graves, or 'Protected' dive wrecks I stay well away from, there's too many Sea Lawyers out there to tangle with, as Mel Fisher found out when he found all that Spanish Maine Stuff...

Just come in, Abalone Divers Assc spokesperson said victim could have been wearing a POD Device, this has not been confirmed though. Worrying thought, as they are supposed to work on ALL sharks, and were tested on Big Whites in South Africa. Another piece of news, was that the estimated size...

I'm up on the North Shore, where are you located. Do most of my diving between Manly and Palm Beach, like to use Atlantis Divers, getting too old for clambering over the side of rubber duckies after a lazy dive on the Goliath. Got a favourite Dive shop? Get in touch, if you need a buddy...

G'Day from Sydney, You wanted to know about advanced dive courses in Cairns, well take your pick of these, but suggest you try 'Deep Sea Divers Den' in Cairns first as they are one of the oldest established ops there. Go to our Aussie Website (BTW: It also has a Bulletin Board for divers...

For any true GBR diving most of the Dive Ops are further north and based in Cairns, Townsville or Port Stephens. Some ops are in Gladstone farther south and is the staging port for getting out to Heron Island. If you want to Scuba, change to Heron Island NOW. Hamilton has no decent viz or Scuba...

Resort developers are threatening the fragile Eco System of the Reef by building a large resort on it's doorstep. The degradation this will cause either by mainland run-off or extra tourist traffic damage is incalculable. Please read of this potential Eco disaster at:- www.saveningaloo.org...

Used to be a Gay Resort a few years back, but has been under new management for at least 2 years. The best Bures to be in are the lower ones right down near the beach, what there is of it! Not known for Gormet dining and it's a long haul to Sikatoka or Suva for a decent meal. The road in is...
