The Only Way To Dive

  1. A cool way to dive if you can afford it.

    Here are a few pics on some dive boats we charted on my last film job in AUS.

    The best part is I got paid to go diving on them too... :P

  3. Nice Wags...

     

    but still think Paul Allen's got one of the nicest dive boats... :D

     

    and I think he's got a submersible hiding in there somewhere... :P

  4. Nice one Peter, did they supply lunch on that charter :P

     

    Pakman that is the Octopus, Ive been on it and yes there is a empty sub on it plus lots more. :D

    They use a 60 foot 1000 hp twin jet boat as their run about.

  5. I believe this will soon be available.

    Friend of a friend is the 1st mate on the Octopus; you can see the sub in the background:

    Don't be fooled by the pic into thinking the sub is a little toy; it sleeps 8 & can remain submerged for 14 days. :P

    PS Maneuvering your yacht can be a challenge on occasions:

  14. Hey Pete,

    I can make it to Cairns if you need to 'drag' someone along to carry your bags and swim in front of you as a shark deterrent... I'm not sure about the quality of the boats that you frequent, but for a mate, I'm sure that I can lower my standards just this once... :ninja:

     

    Humbly yours,

    Bruce... ;)
