Hi from Melbourne, Australia

Hi all, first post here.

Got my OW in Thailand this time last year and am heading back in March for a Similand live-aboard and then to do all my courses to instructor!

So of course I gotta get me some gear and here is the place to do it!

Look forward to hearing from all of you throughout the board.

Cheers
Dave

Hey Dave

Thailand is great isn't it? Haven't dived the Similans yet but its on the list for the next time we visit Thailand.

Scuba Toys is great for gear even if you have to pay the extra cost for postage.

What are the good places for diving in Melb? Never thought of going down south for dive.

Hola Dave! I just got back from Australia on the 13th! It was amazing diving. We were in Queensland though, how is the diving there?

Hi all you friendly ST forum peeps! To be perfectly honest I have not done much diving at all in Melbourne (read 1 pier dive!). Although the government has given the go ahead for Port Philip bay to be dredged early Jan, so all diving activities will be impossible their for about 6yrs if not longer and there will be bugger all to see there after they finish!
For that reason I am diving as much as possible in Port Philip between now and then, just gotta get my act together!

Cheers
Dave
