'Howzit' from South Africa

ShoalDiverSA · 27th April 2006, 08:54

Hi there from Durban, South Africa.

I found myself spending a lot of time on RBWorld Forums reading up on Rebreather's, so I thought I would identify myself, rather than lurk in the background.

I am an active member of ScubaBoard, so you can find me over there too (with the same username).

I don't own a rebreather and with two small kids, I don't think I will in the near future. But I can dream - and learn a lot about the science in the meantime...

Cheers,

Andrew

Monty,

I'm jealous - the Smitwinkelbaai wrecks is definitely one of my SCUBA to-do's. I will have to get a bit further along the training route before I can make the most of the dives. Oh, and buy a drysuit!!!

Cheers,

Andrew

You should make a plan to dive them with us and we'll take you for the "Grand Tour" - we swim all 5 wrecks in the bay on a single dive.

Our CMAS 3* students do that as a navigation excersize...
