Hi,

I don't get to dive much anymore, family keeps me busy and broke. I am
living in Melbourne but home will always be Papua New Guinea.
My family have the Rapopo Plantation Resort in Rabaul and I have been spoilt
with the wreck dives up there in 30oC water.
If anyone is looking at some wreck diving i could strongly suggest Rabaul.

Has anyone had any experience with Tri mix diving? would love to have a chat
about a possible wreck dive in rabaul at about 320 ft

I'm Phill from Mandurah WA.
Love to dive (and fish) whenever I find the time mainly around Fremantle,
Rockingham, Mandurah, Bunbury & Busselton.
My wife is a PADI advanced & I'm a divemaster.

Hi Phil
Why's the dive shop in Mandurah closing? From memory, not that it's all
that reliable, I thought it was the longest established one there?

Just curious.
