Night dive anyone?

[Viper]

been a while since this has been brought up and lots of new members who maybe dive

anyone want to do a night dive for prawns/crabs over the next few weeks in preparation for a healthy xmas lunch

Willing take 1 new person if they want to do it but would prefer an experienced night diver.

[Captain Starfish]

Ooooh, will you take me?

Total n00b so I'll need some help.

Next week one night, say Wednesday, at the Coombe?

[Viper]

Sounds good. I'm bringing home a new HID from China in 2 weeks if you're interested. About $300 and according to my dive buddy of 5 years "makes the alpha look like shit"

[Captain Starfish]

Hmmm

Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the starfish DIY special.

[Viper]

If you want to go mid next week I'll have to hire a tank ... have to put both mine in this weekend for their yearly check up. Won't get them back until next friday.

[Pinkee]

would love to try a night dive too at some point, see if its worth doing the course... but I think Ill need to save up for a smaller gun first

where did yoou get it from need new torch?

[Viper]

worth doing what course? smaller gun? lmao

torch - I'm heading over in 2 weeks and going to pick one up.

[Captain Starfish]

Viper - you ok with an 11.4l/240 bar ali tank? You can borrow one of mine. May need an extra 3lb weight if you're diving a 12l steel normally.

[scotch]

Careful of the sharks. They get hungry!!.....

[Viper]

Think I run a 13l Ali. Need to check. I went bigger coz I'm a gluten.

Sharks lmao

[emrys74]

Fredom 7 should keep them at bay not going in the water till i get mine

[Captain Starfish]

And when you do I'm glad I'll be nowhere near you. God damned fucking horrible things with only dubious merit apart from making their owners more cozy.

13? Piggy! (I'll be diving 10l twins haha)

[lit]

When are you next running an open dive course *fish? Logie and myself are wanting in.

[emrys74]

I know quite a few guys that wont dive in the river with out them

[Captain Starfish]

It's cool to be a homo these days. Don't worry about it.

Sorry, clit, have pretty much decided against teaching open water this season. Problem is it eats up two weekends of my time per course and, this year, I'd rather be diving them. Will still be running advanced, deep, EFR, rescue and nitrox courses because these are much quicker.

I heartily recommend Kieran Lee or Stick at Hookah Dive in Wangara for Open Water courses with SSI. Cheap, thorough, don't require a medical and about as cheap as I am/was/will be.

Stick taught me

Need to get my Open Water first

So... I hear WA has some of the best dive spots in Australia? (nudge nudge, wink wink) Better than that other big Reef-thingy on the East Coast?

May I hijack this thread a little and ask for recommendations for best dive shop, dive course, and dive spots in Perth/WA?

[Viper]

i've heard that too ... I dive for 1 thing. FOOD!

prawns/crabs from the river
crayfish/abalone from the ocean

Ah cheers... And the good dive spots? Don't have to reveal the super-secret super-cool places, just something for starters?
