25.01.2022 48 years ago today a much younger Les opened his dive shop at Terrigal. Prices were a bit cheaper then, $4 per scuba dive lesson. Today he closed down for good and had a bite to eat with Phil and Tom , best wishes to Les, and thanks for the memories.

21.01.2022 MIDGET SUBMARINE WRECK DIVE BALLOT June 30, 2017 - NSW Dept. of OEH For the first time selected members of the public will have permission to dive to the Japane...se midget submarine M24 wreck off Sydneys northern beaches as part of a ballot, NSW Heritage Minister Gabrielle Upton announced today. The public dive open day, scheduled for November, will remember the people who died the night the Japanese midget submarines entered Sydney Harbour. This year marks the 75th anniversary and the one and only time Sydney has come under attack its a significant moment in Australias history, Ms Upton said. This dive ballot is a rare opportunity for people to visit an underwater site of international heritage significance in a respectful and sensitive way. Two groups of six will be chosen from the ballot to dive the site in November to coincide with the 11th anniversary of the M24 sites discovery. The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy have managed and protected the site as a restricted zone since the No Frills Divers group discovered the site in November 2006. The M24 site is the only remaining midget submarine from the 1942 attack located in situ underwater. It remains the grave for the two Japanese submariners. On 31 May 1942, 21 sailors were killed aboard the navy depot ship HMAS Kuttabul along with six Japanese submariners aboard three midget submarines. Giving people the chance to see this site from a respectful distance will help highlight the heritage significance of the site this is a rare chance to see part of Sydneys and the nations history, Ms Upton said. There have been years of detailed archaeological surveys and conservation works to stabilise the site, and extensive consultation has been undertaken with the Commonwealth and Japanese governments, the Royal Australian Navy and the NSW Water Police. The dive will be conducted according to strict protections under federal and state laws there are penalties of up to $1.1million for disturbing the M24 site. The ballot is a trial. To register to go to http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/M24/ or for more information call 9873 8500. The M24 submarine site is at a depth of 54 metres. Divers should consider their ability to dive at this level.

14.01.2022 Drones are fun. Thats for sure! Now if youre looking to capture some great images underwater using some advanced tech, then you should speak to the guys at Yo...ucanRobot, who will be at Booth 65 at #AIDE2018. With a 5-7 hour battery life, the ability to go down to 100m, and its new 4K video capture, this might just be the thing youre after. #underwater #scubadive #photography #videography #MarineLife #technology
