by DaisyB added 2012-01-27
The history of our vast continents mountains, deserts, adventurers and fighters is well known but that of our watery periphery is often overlooked. Australia’s Coral Sea has a fascinating story and if the government continues with its current plans it will become one of the largest safe havens for marine life on the planet.

Putting Life in Strobeless Images - Underwater Photography with Mathieu Meur
by Tim Hochgrebe added 2011-09-01
Not everyone can afford to complement their underwater camera with external strobes. But shooting anything further than a meter or so away without external strobes often results in monochrome blue (or green) images. However, with the addition of a simple, affordable filter, things don't need to be so dull.

by Chris Bartlett added 2011-08-19
Papua New Guinea occupies half of the third largest island in the world and 160 other islands and 500 named cays...It is one of the few places left in the world where a diver can see macro critters, pelagics, and big stuff, as well as fantastic soft and hard corals.
Shooting Seascapes - Underwater Photography with Mathieu Meur

I'd love to become a diver, but ... SEVEN most common cop-outs
by Tim Hochgrebe added 2011-01-28
Most people who don't dive would have at least thought once about exploring this amazing part of the planet they have been missing so far. There are many common excuses on why people decide not to take the plunge; generally a lack of knowledge keeps people from trying. Let's debunk some of those myths and get more people SCUBA diving!
SCUBA Diving and Asthma
by Nerissa Penfold added 2010-11-17
For as long as I can remember I wanted to SCUBA dive. I remember being fascinated by my dad’s cylinders of air with yellow flaking paint and belts of lead weights that lay around the house, and the promise of what lay beneath the surface of the sea. As luck would have it, by the time I seriously started thinking about diving I had been diagnosed with adult asthma.

by Tim Hochgrebe added 2010-10-27
It has been a few years since my last visit to Tioman Island and after listening to many tales of extensive coral bleaching I was curious to see with my own eyes how bad this really was.
Heron Island Bliss - a Family Diving Holiday
by Wandy Hochgrebe added 2010-10-20
A place like Heron Island is a great destination for families by offering a variety of activities all throughout the day, catering to people of all ages and interests. One can do a single boat dive and be back to spend the rest of the day exploring the island with or without expert staff, read books, hang by the pool or at the end of the day join the sunset cruise. There is plenty of time to relax and no worries about having to get any chores done.
A new way of living underwater - Habitat Waterford
by Tim Hochgrebe added 2010-08-30
\At first it seems like a very 'hippy' idea and really fits into our part of the world, as does the Dome Shell factory. However, on further investigation, the instigator, Shaun Waterford, seemed more down to earth than expected and I decided to take a look for myself.
