Divelog story #2 "Dive Planning" - 20-September-2005 @ 3:41:46 PM
 

By: Paul Garske

“Plan your dive and dive your plan”. This was what I learnt when doing my FAUI open water course 20 years ago. Back then we dived with a single aluminium 88cft tank of air. Now we’re using mixed gas rebreathers to explore deep shipwrecks off the NSW coast, and the expression has never been more important. Dive planning is the key to a successful dive.

Sydney Project, William Dawes/Bega expedition 2005 - 28-April-2005 @ 2:52:41 PM
 

By Paul Garske

 

“Dave! We’ve got to go!” We’re 130m underwater on the US Liberty Ship, William Dawes. Dave’s tie off has just come off the wreck, the end of the line is disappearing into the distance and we’ve got less than 2 minutes to get back to the moving shot line across 100m of sand. And I’ve just seen a huge gun pointing upwards across the deck. I want just 5 more minutes, but we’ve got to go right now. Talk about temptation!

Story By: Stewart Pole-Bell

Diving notes: Samir Alhafith

 

“OK Stewart no probs, I’ll get some marks for the William Dawes from the local trawlers to check against yours, while you’re down here would you like to dive the Bega as well?”

 

What sort of question is that? After a brief pause to collect myself I manage a reply, “Absolutely, do you know where it is?”

 

“’Course I do, the fishermen have known for years!”
