Dirka Dirka to you Def,

We currently have a couple of boats happy to take Rebreather divers out on day trips and we are working with a couple of live-aboards who are also interested but to date we have only dived with Undersea Explorer.

If you were interested in coming up for some diving it will not be hard to get some trips happening so let us know how, when and where and we'll go from there.

Regards,

Lance

Thanks for that, I am usually available any time, it depends if I am filming or not, but more GBR footage is always good for my stock library..

I am heading to Vanuatu in May, so that may be a no go for that reason .. but a week on underpantsexplorer would be good to get some nice deep diving .. do you guys bring your own trimix prefilled in the dil ? or decant ?

What ever it is, sounds like fun!

Dirka Dirka Def,

I am going to be bringing trimix and will decant/boost to my dil tank and will bring enough for you too if you like. We usually take a "G" of O2 and plenty of sorb so let us know before hand and it'll be taken care of.

Ah yes....It's serious fun....no doubt about that!!!!

Lance

Hi Aussie Guys! I'm planning a trip during August (3 weeks where I will drive from Sydney to Cairns). It will be my honeymoon, but I do plan on doing some rebreather diving. I'd love to get a list of people together.

Some other Rebreather World members from that area have been very helpful in giving suggestions and advice.

I dive a Mark 15.5 (from Colkan). I do a lot of deep diving and would like to get a few deep ones in, but would also like some dives that my wife-to-be can join me on (OC

). Where should I go? What boats, etc. should I look into in that area? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if you Aussies want to visit me in Honolulu, you are all welcome! Plenty of sorb, tanks, and rebreathers.

Aloha,
Charlie
