Im diving all over the world now and just got back from Bonaire but my time with Mike Ball is still the standout dives of my lifetime. My...

    din or yoke in australia/ great barrier reef?

    and on most boats i have been on there is no depth limit... however if the divemaster sees you doing crazy deep reverse profiles you might be asked to sit out a dive or 2 (which usually means a 18+ hour sit out) remember your own training will determine your depth..

    din or yoke in australia/ great barrier reef?

    nope... in Queensland you need... an alternate air source (not pony bottle - you can take a pony if you like but you still need an alt) safety sausage (usually comes with a whistle if the boat hands it out) current tank inspection stamp (within 12 months) night diving requires 2 light sources...

    Diving from Cooktown QLD

    oops sorry.. i might have been really drunk when i typed that.. it makes no sense.. umm as for cooktown it doesnt have the facilities a large dive operation needs to run out of cooktown.. and it wouldnt have the divers needed for a small operation out of cooktown. cooktown is lose lose for divers

    is octopus identical to the 2nd stage reg?

    be careful when it comes to octos, sometimes if the second stage is overbalanced then you need an overbalanced octo. a reg that comes to mind is the legend lx which needs an lx or legend lx octo and not an abs octo.. otherwise it could 'leak' at depth if you were going to go with a completly...

    Liveaboard in GBR Australia

    from my experience diving a livaboard in the GBR is alot easier then most diving you have ever done, its very heavily regulated.. and is like a beginner park when it comes to diving. there are a very limited amount of stressful dives.. and 99% of dives i would consider AOW or easier.. most can...
