Brett the Dive Guru
Diving over summer

A little bit of talkback

Music

The crew is all in for the first show of the year. Dave went after abalone and sailed a submarine, Bron got her knees wet (closest she came to diving except in a pub) and Anth who did dive but.....

The winners of our daggy postcard (Ali and Stephen) went to Mallacoota and had a ball - thanks for the view of your holiday.

In our new segement, Anth revealed that the collective noun for iguanas is a mess and goldfish come in glints or troublings.

Today is walk against want - get down there now. And at Federation Square there is the Sustainable Living Fair - this year focued on lifestyles rather than what can we buy.

On the topic of Giant squid - a Sydney yatchman had to stop racing in the Jules Verne yatch race, due to a giant squid being attached to one of the hulls of his tri-maran..There are some many angles here we can't even begin...

The US Navy has two real seals (not human types) guarding the boats around Bahrain in the gulf. Apparently they are brilliant underwater and attach clamps to suspicious characterer for the boys on the surface to take care of ...

Anth found a fun website - full of marine - penises. Follow the link if you are so inclined....

Brett had 5 weeks off - diving for pleasure instead of just fun and profit.- This might seem hard to believe, but Brett moved the family 4 km down the road to go camping at Sorrento

Bretts diving highlight to ever was about 2 weeks ago at Shell Harbour (near Wollongong) - he saw a 12 foot marlin complete with pointy bits at the front.

Today is a great day to dive anywhere that faces Bass Straight. Forget about surfing.

There are a few happy dive store owners at present down the Peninsula.

The good diving is between now and the beginning of June. It is much more predicatable and settled in the way the weather behaves.

If you are like Bron and are busy in the morning and don't want to catch the rush, try diving at 5pm

 

Andrew - While fishing of the coast a 5ft shark leapt out of the water. It looked like a mako, but the experts belive this is not typical behavior. Andrew caught lots of Salmon that day.

Robert - He saw a whole family of Port Jackson sharks as he went over a dropoff to a rocky outcrop. They were just piled up everywhere. Robert thinks his appetite of seafood in researuaunts has been destroyed by the real taste of fresh fish.

Anth - saw a lot of weedy seadragons under Flinders Pier, which was great as he was looking for them.
