It would be so cool seeing a Thresher shark. I feel honoured you discussed my question, ha ha.

When I was in Australia (2007), the debate on tv was about building nuclear power plants 😂 I loved cairns

Hey Katt, I ask you, because of your background, knowledge and because I know how much care you take to the ocean.
I got since a month a brand new bcd, Hollis SMS 75, this is the reason why I want to keep it as long as possible looking brand new, so I wonder what would you recommend to clean it. Sure water helps a lot and it may don't need to get shampooed daily, but sometimes you want to clean it poperly in and outside, but I want to use something which would harm the nature as less as possible.
So what would you recommend?

Hi Katt. I spent about $150 for a Rx Mask. I had a hard time hearing everything you said about 30M. There was Background noises on the video. I know about the Deco Stop, Shorter times, And the "Nark'd" bit. The Shop asked me about AOW when I was returning their gear from the OW Course. I'm doing to impress a Special Lady in my life!!! The one who Inspired me to finally get OW Certified. Vielen Dank Sally!!!

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your posts! Been following for a while and am always excited to view your content. It’s always educational and so pleasantly presented! Looking forward to your future scuba vids :)

Yep - masks are important, I’ve seen notices from the local dive shops saying NO COSTCO MASKS/FINS/SNORKELS ALLOWED IN CLASS. My mom who will never scuba dive asked me about getting a better snorkeling mask - I told her go to the dive shop and buy a Tusa. She said I was right. I use a Tusa myself, probably the best fitting mask for my face.

And yes, totally agree on getting certified at home. I can’t travel due to finances - but the diving in California is challenging but rewarding and I know when I do dive somewhere warmer and more exotic, I’ll be a better diver for it.
