Advantages: Good aid to water confidence Disadvantages: none
We have some Zoggs seal sticks at work. They are amongst our swimming tools, aids, toys. These swimming aids are suitable for children aged 3+.
These seal sticks are a dive stick aimed at encouraging children to gain water confidence.
These sticks are 19x3x4 cm, weighs 0.272 kg. These sticks usually come in a carry bag set of 4 different coloured seal sticks blue, green, red and yellow .Each one has a round blue head with black eyes and mouth markings at one end of the tubular stick. At the other end is a black seals foot. Each one has Zoggs printed in black around the coloured tube. They are made of a smooth plastic. The tube is a softer a more flexible plastic than the head and foot. These sticks are quite durable.
These seals are weighted so when thrown into the swimming pool they will sing to the bottom and stand ...
Advantages: Warm water, clear, lots of life Disadvantages: Some dives not that exciting
I recently did a dive trip to the Maldives, not a destination I would have planned on as I've always thought of it as a honeymoon destination. I travelled on a liveaboard boat, doing a circuit of dive sites around North and South Male atolls and Ari Atoll. Water temperature was mostly 28-30C, with mostly visibility of 15-25m.

We had 20+ mantas swooping in just over our heads, hovering and observing us as we observed them! Our second dive there wasn't as good but still around 10 mantas checking us out over the cleaning station.
There were several other drift dives that were ...
Advantages: Huge fish and loads of them, Spectacular Disadvantages: The Price
I have a love of all things watery, so for me spending a week at sea diving the outer GBR, is somewhat close to my idea of heaven. Having spent a week exploring this underwater realm and all the weird and wonderful creatures that lurk within it, we finished off our trip with what has to be one of the most spectacular dives I think I?ve ever done. A wreck dive on the SS Yongala, one of Queensland?s, if not Australia?s top diving attractions.
History
The SS Yongala (named after the aboriginal word yonggluh ? meaning broad water) was a steel passenger and freight ship built in Newcastle (England) in the early 1900?s. Reaching 350 feet (110m) in length and weighing in at 3,664 tonnes she was capable of reaching top speeds of 15.8 knots. Originally commissioned for the Adelaide Steamship Company, and after her launch in 1903 she ...
