Who is from WA in Oz?

  1. Are there any west Ozzy's here and do you live near me?

     

    I live in Bunbury and like diving the Busselton Jetty with camera.

  2. Hi Dong

     

    I live in South Fremantle moved from the UK nearly 2 years ago. I think Busselton Jetty is a great Dive site and dive it several times a year.

     

    Check out my website for contact details.

    Yes and no. :D
  4. Hey dudes,

     

    I will contact you Shannon and maybe get a dive in sometime.

     

    Gudge, your work is pretty famous - I know you live up woop woop.

  5. Will probably be moving to Perth in August/September once I find the job to take me there.

  6. Hey mate - I'm from Oz, but not really near you - Melbourne in fact. :D

     

    Had a WA great time tho - even proposed to soon to be wife at Margaret River.

  7. Hey Guys

     

    Trust a Canberran to chip-in.... I'm heading to Ningaloo all being well in May. What's the water temps like around then? Being a wussy Pom, if it ain't 28 degrees I'm in a dry suit.

  8. Should be around 26 to 28°C but may get down to 23 to 24°C by the end of the month. May is the time when the water starts to cool down. This graph shows the water temperature as recorded by my dive computer from late 04 up to the beginning of May 07:

    I really must update it one day.

     

    I couldn't survive in Canberra these days, I'm orginally from right next door in Queanbeyan.

  9. Many thanks Gudge. So its tons of neoprene. Or my dry suit. Tough call.

     

    Survive Canberra eh? Hmm, well as a guest in town I couldn't possibly comment. :D It would be nice if it was nearer to good diving though. I keep wondering about giving my Subal a run out in Lake Burley Griffin.

  10. I only use a one piece 5mm wetsuit in the middle of winter with no hood or gloves and am very comfortable. This CSIRO web site is updated daily (most times) and will give you a good idea of what the water temperature will be closer to when you come over:

    One piece 3 mill for me in 16% on the Swan Wreck - had a hood - a bit cold but not uncomfortable.

  12. Many thanks indeed, lads. I'll check out the CSIRO site nearer the time. But I think you Strines are tougher than we whimpy Mancunians. I reckon you guys are born with iced water in your veins :D

     

    But diving with a 5mm suit would be perfect. I may bring my 'ood and gloves though just in case. And a vest :D

  13. I assume it will be a flat cap (ood) and string vest being Mancunian! :D

  14. Flat cap and string vest? Eeee, I used to dream about string vests. Mother used to crochet wire wool so we 'ad vests.
