[mr_sav]

Curious as to whether any keen scuba divers out there.

Possibly consider knocking up a Dive Trip?

Cheers

She Drains better than a rangie, and to boot I have just bought her a Snorkel.

Used to do some diving years ago. Have thought I would like to try it again bu SA is a bit far to drive for a dive trip.

Adelaide to Melb is a comfortable drive, at least until you hit SA roads. I have been over to Port Phillip Bay to dive on some wrecks and Walls.

A good long weekend or 4 days is comfortable. Throw in a footy game and it is well worth a trip either way.

Get back in to diving.

From what I have read you have BIG sharks there, dont know if I would like that!

I haven't been diving since moving back to Australia from Norfolk Island in 1993.

I should throw my dive gear out.

I started diving in 1978. Was NAUI,s youngest instructer in 1980, and this is what eventually got me to Australia. Spent a month diving in far north Queensland in 1995, while on break from studying Cardiac Perfusion (Running the bypass pump for cardiac surgery). Every Australian I met: Smoked, Drank, ate red meat, and put Cream on everything, so I knew there had to be an active cardiac program here. When I was offered a job here, I had no idea where Melbourne was, but I gave a resounding Yes!! Just too bad the water is cold. Have become "soft" (not to mention round) in my older age. It has been several years since I have been under the bay, and I miss warm water diving. Will have to head north this winter, and get my toes wet again.

Mudnut, I am going to try and get myself up to Cairns for a few days in July for a 3 day liveaboard. I did one last October, pretty good. Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers.

Mr_Sav,
It sounds appealing, but I just bought a house yesterday, so I need the money for renovations. Enjoy your trip!

Gday Mr sav

Fairly keen diver myself, used to do it for a living at a large public aquarium down south. Spent a few hours every day for 7 years there in the water, god it was cold, have probably covered every km of vics coastline. Did my marine biology degree in SA dived the gulf looking for cuttlefish, leafy seadragons (awesome) and the white sharks have a few interesting photos if you want to see (of whites that is). Working with sharks on a daily basis makes one a bit over confident around them and I did some pretty silly stuff, grown up a bit now. Unfortunately had to sell the dive boat to finance my study for the next 4 years (what was I thinking). Only dive at work now part time got to get out and see some of this great barrier reef. BTW nice avatar of a southern blue devil.

The Bluey shot was taken along Seacliff Reef in about 10m. Not to many divers along there, particuarly this time of year now, so it was pretty curious. Had a good feed of scallops out of my hand.

Spotted 11 leafies along the Rapid Jetty, the largest number I have seen, so it is a good sign.

Fortunately have not hit a white yet, so keen to keep it that way for a while longer if I can.

If you get back down this way give me a hollar.

Regards.

I have an advanced open water certificate but havent dived for a few years, last dive was in lake Malawi in africa. Would love to go again or even get my own gear when the finance gods give us a break from disaster for a while.
We have a place in Phillip Island on the beach and a 12ft tinny to go further out.
