Saturday 22nd March 2013 Today I was excited to be trying a new dive site. We got EAN29 maximum operating depth to dive a deeper site called Cape Pin about five minutes south of Julian Rocks. I had never heard of Cape Pin before as it is quite a hard site to get to due to large currents and [...]

Saturday 1st March 2014 Today was the first day of my Freediving Class A course with Apnea Freediving at Sunreef Mooloolaba. We spent the morning going over theory, I found the book to be fantastic, it went over Henry's Law, Boyle's Law and Dalton's Law in a very simple way that even a monkey would've been [...]

April 2013 It was our second dive for the day, so naturally in Sidemount tanks I had just over one hundred bar left in each tank. Mark S, Nick K and I headed out for an explore. Nick K signalled to me he was getting down on air so he was going to go back, as I was [...]
