We did a road trip in January in pursuit of Leafy Sea Dragons. The weather was against us at at Edithburgh jetty, only one dive in with no LSD, but got two dives in at Rapid Bay Jetty with LSD both dives, I can recommend SeaDragon Lodge, for a good guide and accommodation. I you are looking at...

32 lbs of lead is lot, sounds to me like somebody on a one way trip to the bottom dropping their speargun so they had two arms to try and swim up with then dropping their weight belt.

No idea, but for less than 3 dollars I would go for the long version myself. I listen to audio books on road trips, need the long version 😁

A 406 PLB sends a signal to a satellite that forwards it to an earth station that then sends it to the Rescue Coordination Centre for the area you are in also called a search and rescue region of responsibility. Info on the areas can be found at...

As a former zodiac owner (Futura MK 11) my main concern is how is the bow cleat attached to the boat. Is it glued on, is it held into the fibreglass with self tapping screws or is is bolted on through the fibreglass with large washers underneath the glass. Anything that is glued on will...

Sorry to hear of your back problems

I am impressed that both you and TIG have been around that long “I bought in August of 1922”😁

I wonder if the 10 Russian divers were following the dive guides, or were playing cowboy and the guides were trying to keep them safe.

+1 for the Yongala, but it is weather dependant, and take sea sickness meds if you are prone to sea sickness, but worth it

I have a Citizen Eco-drive that is rarely off my wrist, I got it a few years to replace a Seiko. that died and parts were a problem due to its age. I wear it for a number of reasons 1. It tells me the time 2. I don’t need to worry about, showering, washing dishes, boating, diving etc 3. How...

It is good to know google isn’t perfect 😀

Gets better the date on DD link is 24 January 2007|, I am really confused either way it is old news

I can’t help with the buddy bit, sorry, as I am tied up this weekend. Flinders Pier is a good spot for Leafy Sea Dragons, about 90 minutes South East of the CBD depending on traffic. You will probably have to travel to SA for Weedy Sea Dragons. The water temp at Flinders was 21c last week. You...

News travels slowly in the Mediterranean, Reuters have the article dated August 10, 2007 https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSSYD119859/ Must have been a slow news day in Malta 🦈

My partner turns 70 mid year and has a bad back, meaning we have changed the way we dive. I have a dodgy knee. We brought one of those horrible 4 wheel collapsible cart things for pier diving. My knee really appreciates it. She now strolls down the pier with her camera, no stress no strain. No...

Did you read the fine print? Features: Working pressures up to 600 psig (41.3 bar); Temperatures up to 300°F (148°C); Straight and angle patterns; Vee stem standard; What is the pressure in your H cylinder?

As a number of the early questions relate to what was taught on diving courses, I feel you need to ask how long ago the diver learnt to dive. Long time divers learnt to dive well before awareness of global warming/climate change/plastic pollution etc were talked about at any level. Hello...

The overturned boat was at Barwon Heads where a river enters Bass Strait. Rye Pier is at the southern end of Port Phillip Two totally different pieces of water My apologies for the crap map buy Barwon Heads is below the O in ocean grove, Rye Pier is about where the right hand B110 appears...
