Diving with Mantas is SOOOO on my bucket list. That looks absolutely breathtaking! There are GC Dive Adventures go to Cook Island. Definitely must look up Brisbane Scuba though :D

Thanks for that detailed report! :c) Your photos are fantastic - what's the history behind that Pirate Grid there? I think I'd pee my wetsuite if I looked up and suddenly stared at a giant skull like that *lol*

Earlier this week I had booked a snorkel trip with Blue Seafaris (They offer snorkel and free diving courses - Blue Seafaris | Home Page ) We were a small group (5 Snorkelers, 1 Boatie, 1 Guide) and the weather couldn't have been more perfect had we ordered it to taste. One of our snorkelers was...

Thank you so much, Pressurehead :) Here is to hoping we have more "good days, than bads" .. The last 3 months were a bit hit and miss, to put it lightly, with regards to the weather. Seriously hoping by May we see fewer storms and rains again.

Bali! Super exciting. I'm looking forward to reading about it. :D I kinda figured that this is the week a whole bunch are going diving all over, since it is past the public holidays and past the school-vacationers' times. HMAS Brisbane and Flinders Reef we're doing with Sunreef. Wolf Rock...

Heya all, I feel like a very disloyal friend, only here to hang out whenever I have actually booked some diving somewhere :p ... Which basically is only a mere fingerful or two per year... Anyway - it is that time again, and I have booked: 12 May: Flinders Reef 13 & 14 May: HMAS Brisbane 15 -...

Thanks all for your responses. We were super lucky that on very short notice the cruise ended up adding a shore excursion to the roster, that included snorkelling and a day out on the Lady Enid. If you ever get a chance to do a daytrip out of Airlie Beach, do look up the Lady Enid (...

I'm a muppet. Darktable, not Darklab *lol* https://www.darktable.org/

One day I will dive up there, too!!! :D Cannot wait! My latest batch with the TG4 , no filters, no flash, no housing - was "only" snorkeling, but at least we had about 4 hours water time *lol* Can't get that much bottom time in on a tank :P Tangalooma Wrecks, Moreton Island, QLD

When I am super lazy, and particularly for photos that are good enough, except for the white balance, I just use the free software "IrfanView" ... It has a pretty good Auto White Balance (Shift+U), but for when I don't like the results I can play with it manually (shift+g) ... The software...

I think you've received a lot of responses :) Different airlines also offer different services. Qantas for example have completely scrapped their music channels on all flights - including long-haul, which totally sucks! I have now downloaded all my favourite spotify playlists, in order to...

It makes me insanely happy to read that someone is still caring for, sharing, and diving those magical spots! I hope we can return to dive there soon again!!!

I know, but if a thread necromancy,… but did anything ever come of trying to organise? I know, sadly, Nigel closed Scubar down but opened a bar/pub restaurant instead and is cleaning up the coast regularly. Would love to hear news from Taiwan - last 5 years must have been extremely rocky for...

Haha! Thanks mate, bring logic into it, why don't you ... :P Honestly, the feat of that woman in the OP is still boggling my mind! I seriously hope her family will show their appreciation in the most amazing way possible for her <3 She deserves an extra Birthday, Women's day, Valentine's Day...

I don't consider myself "the younger generation" anymore (*groan*, I never thought I'd say that) ... but it took me 8 years of repeatedly practicing consciously to remember my husband's phone number - and even then, I have moments where I am like "I have to look it up to check whether I still...

Welcome aboard :) Can’t help you with Cali diving, but I hope you’ll find this community as amazing as I in regards to resources and knowledge so freely being shared :)

Definitely an Inspiration! Wow! I'm so glad to read this happy ending here... Well done her. Her grit and determination must have been amazing! I'm not sure I wouldn't have panicked at some point during that journey!

That T-Rex made me laugh xD What a find!

Yay :D A TG photo thread! Sadly I am no master at ID yet (I shall learn!) But here are a few of my favourite shots with my trusty TG-4 … No lights or any other accessories; just the camera and its housing.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much! You have given me some serious GAS now :P and I know what to put on my birthday list :D
