most of my scuba diving is in South-east Queensland, but I do get aound!
Keen photographer/videograper and am passionate about the marine environment, particularly interested in creating more marine habitat as our overpopulation on the water front in South-east Queensland is destroying marine nurseries. So you are going to get to see a lot of the diving we have in the waters of SE QLD.
Interested in hearing about successful artificial reefs in other areas.

Our most successful artificial reef in the region is the Ex-HMAS Brisbane, sunk in 2005. It is more than just a F.A.D. and hihlights the importance of vertical height for increased bio-diversity.

thank you, got on google earth to see where you are located and your about 70km from Newhaven is that where you dive? have you dived the infamous Stoney Cove? Right at the moment the water temp is 22 degC here on the gold coast, what is the crrent sea temp where you dive?

Hi Ian.
Yes, sometimes Newhaven, sometimes further west.
I guess the temp' is about 17* right now, we have strong winds so no diving at present.
Never dived Stoney, free or scuba.
I had no idea it was 'infamous', the number of divers who have lost their lives there maybe?
