So who's diving this season?
Submitted by hlokk on Mon, 2012-11-12 16:46
So, we're coming up to the start of cray season this week and there are a few divers on this site, so wondering who's getting back in the water, and who's staying out on account of biteys?
I for one, will be in the water :D A life lived in fear is a life half lived (although I will be taking a shark shield...). Still more danger of drowning unfortunately.
Anyone looking for a dive buddy thu, let me know.

Wish the body was up to it Matt
But it is interesting. In Uni breaks lived on our boat at Rotto. Students $$ was spent on amber fluid mostly. Fishing and diving was how we got good food other than Rotto pies.
Over summer holidays used to average 2 dives a day for 5 days a week for the 3-4 months break. Not a single thought of ever been bitten. Nowadays its one of the first thoughts people have.
I am sure the population off sharks have increased, but I am also sure the media has heaps to do with it. If I could stand up with a wt belt and tank and not have to worry about the "old" back, I think I am out there. But I would have a shield just to make me feel better.

As soon as my shipping container arrives from Micronesia and I've got my tanks in date I'll be out hunting again. Can't wait.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Ill be away for the first few weeks and won't be able to dive till mid January. By then, it'll either be "all good" or a few of you may have been "tucker" and Ill know to keep my toes out! Keen for a cray though.... Been a long time between anything on the water for me this year

challenge is on
Hopefully hit it thursday weather permitting_ wonder what boat will get their 24 first? all this shark talk is stupid_ shallow water blackout is way more dangerous but that doesn't make the news_ safe diving all:)

Yes,Cant Wait
Hoping for a good season after small catches last year. Should get a few dives in this year on the new hooker unit we just put together for a mate.
First dive last year on a hooker and enjoyed it more than the tanks i must say!
Good luck and safe diving to all.
