Thread: Doppler Divers

Just remembering the jib stopper that did our house was chasing blue fin off the west cost, he had made a spear gun that looked more like a surfboard with god knows how many rubbers on it. Pretty sure he was the first to successfully spear one.

I was a PADI dive master for years at South Auckland Divers saving the arses of all of the wives that did not want to be under the water but were there because their husbands insisted. I haven't been on scuba these past 20 years and haven,t eaten cray or scollies in nearly as long.

I must have blinkers on when up . Have only seen two crays ever and both where just too deep . Very frustrating getting within two meters of them and having to go back up .

lots there but they normaly too small

Got my ticket in 1975 NZ Basic Scuba, similar to Padi advanced. Since the mid eighties I have worked part time construction diving ( Constuction class 3)on the Hydros and outfalls around Central NZ. Mainly scuba but also a bit of hard hat diving as well. Still Diving but only for small jobs and only in my area now. Love diving with my Son and Daughter and sometimes if it's clear the Wife as well, in the Coromandel for the pot.

Thats a whole new take on hydradponics

I got my NZUA Basic in 1980 and dived local and tropical (Fiji and Vanuatu) sites many times during the 80's and 90's. Then had a spell of not diving much, got into other things like competitive shooting. Got back into diving due to a new friendship in 2005 and advanced to Technical Diving, initially mixed gas OC then did an SCR course and bought a rebreather. Did a lot of very comfortable rebreather dives on wrecks and stuff in a very short time and then my buddy went commercial Sat and I drifted out of it again. Sold my rebreather but still have a couple of twin-sets and slings, nice dry-suit, all gathering dust

When I saw the heading "Doppler Divers" I thought it was about using doppler to listen to the off-gasing sounds in a divers bloodstream. A technique actually used in diving medicine...

Did my SSI Divecon years ago

Assisted on 1 class and said stuff that after a big student latched on to me (playing with his fancy reg and turned the air flow down) - not sure who's eyes were bigger!

Why worry about sharks, we are soooo noisy underwater bit hard to think we are food - free divers thats another thing (maybe) - I say its the one you don't see that gets you, if you can see them not too worry (unless you carrying the bag or fishing of course)

All of you fellas saying why worry about sharks are nuts, I reckon.
An old resident white may not be able too catch a feed as it gets older. It will have too take easy prey one day. Yes we are noisy under water but its when on the surface after a dive I reckon you will get smashed.
Come down for a dive and I will drop you crazy buggers in where she lives.
I bet there will be a lot of new lumps in the back of some wetsuits if she cruises into view.

Good on ya Tussock. Balls of steel. It is only a fish after all. Fucking big aggressive one but still only a fish. Just imagine it on a plate with chips and some of Dundee's tomato sauce and you'll be right.

Yeah Rushy, but it doesnt have to imagine him on a plate with tomato sauce, it just sees him as a giant sausage roll filled with tomato sauce
I will take Tim diving down there. He can dive splitbag reef. I will make sure I bring a bucket to empty his wetsuit into.
If I seen the fucker while desending or asending, the shit would be overflowing out of my hood. If it doesnt bother Tim, I know where some huge crays are

Take a couple of buckets of burly to make it "Interesting"
