Saturday 18th August 2012 We decided on Cherubs Cave and Hendersons for our dive sites. The weather was mild and sunny with a bit of a chill in the wind. The seas weren't too bad.. a little bumpy in spots on the way out but mostly flat otherwise. I had never done Cherubs Cave before so [...]
Sunday 5th August 2012 My first time out with Go Dive which departs from Manly. Literally a five minute drive from my place, I welcomed the sleep in for once. Parking was difficult though, and we had to double park to unload the gear and then managed to get very lucky with someone right by the entrance [...]
3rd June to 10th June, 2013 After a fantastic first leg of the trip in Tubbataha Mark S. Tom W and I flew to Cebu and took a three and a half hour transfer to Maya. As it was low tide we had to wade into shallow water and get into a small wooden boat. There were several men [...]
28th May to 3rd June 2013 I arrived in Manila Philippines on the 26th May with Tom W and Mark S. We spent one night in Manila then headed to Puerto Princessa where we boarded the Stella Maris Explorer liveaboard. My first impressions of the Philippines was 1. It wasn't as hot as I thought it would [...]
Saturday 3rd March 2013 Packed full of EAN32, twins and side mount gear, cameras, and a full boat of divers we headed out on Oceancat on a beautiful sunny day and flat seas. We voted on Gotham City for our first dive which is a large rock similar in shape to Ayres rock and sits in thirty [...]
Sunday 12th February 2013 We headed out on Ocean Cat today with beautiful weather and calm seas. We had a vote on where we would like to go and decided on the Arizona. The Arizona is relatively deep, all the good stuff sits in about thirty metres and you can drop down to forty metres so it was [...]
Friday 6th January, 2013 Five of us headed out on Rob A's boat 'Malibu' on a perfectly sunny day just outside Moreton Bay. We had planned to dive the Arizona but the current was ripping and our second choice of the Cementco was even worse! So we opted with an exploratory dive which was a lot [...]
November 14th - November 24th 2012 I have just returned from an incredible experience sailing the Whitsundays. Mark S invited myself, Nick K and our other friend Gareth B along to their annual sailing trip, skippered by Ian M. who had been doing these trips for some twenty years. We hired a Catamaran yacht from Cumberland yacht [...]
Saturday 5th November, 2012 Nick K, Mark and I headed out to do our first dive at Las Vegas. I was super excited about this as had never heard of this dive site before. Las Vegas is a stunning site, it reminded me a little of a cross between Flinders Reef and Julian Rocks. The site [...]
January 2013 About this time last year I was sitting on a plane heading to Osaka in Japan by myself. It all started when my dive buddy Nick R who works in the film industry gave me 'The Cove' to watch. A documentary about ocean activists spying and documenting the annual slaughter of hundreds of Dolphins in Taiji, Japan. That documentary really hit home. I had [...]
