Deep diving is underwater diving to depths beyond first stage diver training. For PADI and NAUI this means deeper than 18 metres (60 feet) and BSAC deeper than 20 metres (66 feet). But in practice deep diving is beyond 30 metres (98 feet) when divers can experience nitrogen narcosis.
You can dive year-round on the Great Barrier Reef. Although the best conditions for scuba diving are from June through October. For liveaboard diving, the best time to go is July through November. In the Coral Sea, the visibility is best in June and in September.
This is the first of many scuba diving stories, and this one is a diving story of my own. It’s about the time I flew to South Africa to dive with Great White Sharks. Unfortunately for me it wasn’t to be, and whilst I got to see a very large female Great White Shark (and very close-up for that matter), I didn’t get to see her underwater from inside the shark-cage. Maybe next time? If you have a scuba diving short story, please complete the contact form to the right of this page.
Whether you like it or not as a scuba diver, as a snorkeler or as a conservationist, lionfish in the Caribbean are being slaughtered by scuba divers with spears. Invasive lionfish are out-breeding, out-competing and living longer than the native fish stocks and other marine species in the region. The native species that the invasive lionfish are decimating, are important for ecological, commercial and recreational reasons. So this article considers whether it’s right to kill these creatures on spears as scuba divers. For me it goes against the grain for the usual conservationist nature of scuba divers, as lovers of all marine creatures. But I will admit to joining a group of scuba divers that went on a culling exercise of lionfish.
