    Trip to Raja Ampat planned for December 2023, welcome feedback!

    California Dive Shop Burns Down!

    Your post was informative until you felt compelled to state rumors with no basis given, and no justification. What possessed you to slander someone by putting "insurance fraud" in parenthesis in your statement?sapphire

    R.I.P PacketSniffer

    Unbelievably sad. Cruising around all the dive forums, I have been comforted by the words and photos posted by everyone. Richard was a great person, a careful diver, and will be missed greatly. I am happy that I had the opportunity to meet and dive with him. He was fun! Condolences to his...

    Ann Marie! Nice new avatar photo! We were diving on the Magician last week and I met a SportChalet dude who knew you... he said oh yes, Ann Marie... really pretty, dark hair? I said "but of course!" Hi to you and Jamie! Jennifer

    Taka Dive: Cod Hole / NGBR or Cod Hole / Coral Sea?

    I would definitely go the Cod Hole/Coral Sea itinerary that takes you to Osprey Reef. Its a long trip but the diving is extraordinary, the shark feed is fascinating. We like the Ribbon Reefs but Osprey Reef is awesome! Jennifer

    Driving from Cairns to Sydney what should I not miss?

    OK - this is another bummer for us, for Sask and roegenwalder. Evidently the Nimrod Explorer is not working and the trip going out the 29th is cancelled altogether. We are looking into other options that might fit into our timetables for travelling. Shoot! Jennifer

    Driving from Cairns to Sydney what should I not miss?

    Thanks for the reminder... I am practicing on land with my new Fuji e900 and plan to use it underwater in a few days. I will see how the land shots turned out and if there are any good ones will share! We are thinking of diving in Sydney to make up for missing the Yongala. I think Weedy Sea...

    Driving from Cairns to Sydney what should I not miss?

    Well, no diving on the Yongala the 26th or 27th due to conditions... winds 20-25 knots and they could not go out :-(. We spent our time in Townsville touring the Reef HQ aquarium and took a ferry to Magnetic Island today. It was a great day, we saw a koala, rock wallabies and a possum... fun...

    Driving from Cairns to Sydney what should I not miss?
