Yes it is a magnet but being 3+hours away and having three small kids
makes it a little hard. I am not a technical diver I like shore dives
(Dont like spending too much money). Love to night dive but have not
done for years. Use to dive almost everynight in Tassy with a mate at
one stage finding new shore dives and just jumping in where there was water.

Love areas full of life not interested in catching just watching.

So I get wet via the web now days and the occasional dive. My oldest son
is 10 and really wants to get into it but I think he can wait.

shit you're a real man far to cold for me, I look like the Michelin man at
the best of times but with a 7mm on the Japs would harpoon me. Saying that I
have dived in Hobart with the Uni looking for those walking fish they were
cute and weird

I didn't actually say in my intro but I'm Brisbane based and am going
on my first local dive since moving to Australia on Sunday. I am
planning to go up to Maroochydore and dive the Ex HMAS Brisbane with
Sunreef.

There seems to be some excellent sites all around Brisbane so it makes
quite a change from Reading in the UK.

I'm sure that I've read somewhere that Asthma doesn't prevent someone
diving and I believe that swimming is quite beneficial.

cheers,
Danny
