This is our local spot - $2.50 per diver per day, a mile long, how lucky are we? This part of the world really is paradise.

Rowley Caverns

Some of the caverns at the Rowley Shoals, 200 miles offshore from mainland Western Australia. I'm sure there are many more as yet unexplored.

Esperance Trip
Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:25:15 -0800 by PeterBuzzacott

Our recent trip to Esperance was a great success and the Sanko Harvest was all I'd hoped; Big, deep, a decent swell overhead. Great fun, and a big thenks to the local shop and the local club.

The Shaft
Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:34:43 -0800 by PeterBuzzacott

Possibly Australia's most famous cave dive, entry is via a manhole in a cow paddock. At midday a shaft of light like a huge laser cuts through the dark. Spectacular stuff.

Rowley Shoals
Fri, 07 Nov 2008 15:53:18 -0800 by PeterBuzzacott

The first of three trips to the Rowley Shoals, 300 kilometres out to sea from Broome, north west Western Australia. Wonderful pristine wilderness diving. Amazing, and chock full of sharks.

Hell's Hole
Mon, 13 Oct 2008 21:25:32 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

Two teams dive alternate and pull-ropes. A 35m or so drop down to the water, then kit-up and away to go. Whilst awaiting for extraction a snake circled us. One by one we got pulled out, turning round and round as the snake circled. It's a great dive and a top adventure, near Mount Gambier, South Australia.

Englebrecht's East
Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:35:44 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

One of my all-time favourite caves. It has an air chamber, a long almost-vertical crack, a long low-flattener, this cave has it all. Now I've had a good look around the air chamber, next trip I'll spend more time in the flooded chamber at the end.

Some of the local sites around "The Mount". Good buddies, good dives, great times. Can't wait for me next trip.

Bakers and 1080
Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:49:09 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

Two marvelous caves near Mount Gambier in South Australia that are not dived as often as some of the others. First, Gary arranges a tour of Bakers, lowering us down by tripod, then Grant shows-off the site improvments at 1080, and we even took a peak in the little cave at the back (we stopped at 39m depth). Marvelous how these really experienced guys spend their weekends showing new cave divers around. Thanks to the landowners too of course, as always. These two "bonus dives" were a highlight of our 2000km trip over from the west coast.

HMAS Swan in Western Australia
Sun, 27 Jul 2008 23:50:12 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

Western Australia is bloody magic and the South West has the best wrecks in the state (Esperance does have a cracker aswell). Here, my good buddies Neil and Kate reel-in after a 90m penetration! Not many fabulous wrecks around like this beauty, near Dunsborough, in the south west of Australia.

Middle Island Sinkhole
Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:46:54 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

This dive was the highlight of an awesome dive trip, when the Captain took me on a guided dive of the Middle Island Sinkhole. Down at 70 feet, freezing cold water pumps out of holes between the rocks and algae shimmers like long-hair in the wind. Remarkable, astonishing dive; and a real privilage to be personally guided by Captain Luke. This would feature in the top handful of dives I've made anywhere in the world.

Noble Odyssey Great Lakes Trip
Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:47:53 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

A year ago I had the pleasure of diving Lake Huron through the Noble Odyssey Foundation and the Divers Alert Network. The water ranged from 10 down to 5 degrees, but the wrecks were... WONDERFUL! This was the best dive trip I've ever been on, thanks to Capt. Luke Clyburn and the crew of the Pride of Michigan.

Here is my buddy Neil and I having adventures around the South West of Western Australia. Every dive we practise skills, take photos, and just have loads of fun. A good buddy is worth his weight in gold.

Serpentine Falls Western Australia
Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:39:55 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

Top little dive this, always used to find goodies in here, like watches, old coins, sometimes rings. Not anymore, since they build the new concrete access stairs. Good for getting in and out though. Last dive found a little cave at the back. Will sidemount a couple of seven's next time I go there and check it out. Lot's of leeches in here too so cover-up.

Drove up to Dutch Springs last year for the Dive-Rite rebreather social day, organised by Pete Nawrocky. The water was cool and clear, and I met some really cool divers.

Blanch Quarry
Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:12:29 -0700 by PeterBuzzacott

The PDRA are a marvelous group of keen divers who have purchased three quarries in North Carolina. You simply pay an annual membership fee and get the key to all three! And they are really friendly - I can't speak highly enough of this organisation. It's more than a club, it's a group of clubs, with cook-outs, treasure hunts, and camping.
