2011-05-01 Australia Red Indian Point
Red Indian Pointvery choppy, not a lot to see due to current, hence low viz Lost buddy (from dive centre) in last 5 min, deployed SMB, waited for 5min and surfaced, buddy @ boat, all ok! PS location of dive site is 33° 49' 14"S 151° 17' 01"E (using AUS66 as datum) - map doesn't show correctly, dunno why!

2009-12-27 Australia Maroubra, NSW
Magic PointSearching for grey nurse sharks but didn't find any. Had to surface twice to find missing diver(s).Teenager had a panic and my buddy (who had +70 logged dives) had to assist him & calm him down. Dive wasted. Although diver safety is a priority, the skills/confidence of a diver should have been checked more carefully by dive shop who did not send a guide on the boat (without telling us beforehand). I raised this with Plunge who compensated me with a complementary double dive and changed their advertising policy to include a statement if the dive will be guided or not. Well done Plunge!

Hon Giaibit 'mad' french dude ran dive company out of a Hoi An bar, pretty relaxed approach to diving. This is why Im grateful for good training from Plunge Diving(in Sydney)! Otherwise dive good in warm clear water although a bit under weighted at 6kg with 3mm suit.
