i'd fail this one for sure..but given enough time, probably not! once tried to get a visa for agronomics schooling in qld and failed the "why you think it's better to have schooling in Australia?" in 500 words on essay or less..that was early 80's..there were three of us and only one passed..i guessed the consul at the embassy thought we were 'putting too much flowers' in it too much..but that's ok, my destiny i guess was different..regards

Undoubtedly the best rhyming Ozzie slang word ever is "Seppo". I just love how rhyming slang can really capture most Ozzie's sentiments perfectly in describing something..

Close JP, the "bit of food" is a sausage, "Seppos" are Yanks, and "poxy" isn't quite pseudo.

so how'd i do?!!? i had to bust my brains out just to figure out deep aussie linggo..it's been a long while like 30 odd yrs. since i saw a Torana and remembered it to be a ford..so too the Holden's..nostalgic if i ever see one of those. as for the rissole, not much of a cook and thought it as a stew so snags would be great in it.."Got a couple out of kilter", now this one screwed me all over again...!

Just hold your breather and push yourself hard to get deeper. I havent tried the hawaian sling yet, will have to give it a go.

Nah there are just a lot of fish in the shallows, too much effort to dive deep.

Yeah you have the ingredients for a rissole about right just a bit of egg to hold it all together and bob's your uncle.

Hey mate, just make sure you've got the right weight belt for your buoyancy so you're neutral. Then breathe deeply a couple of times on the surface, put your mind in a state of total peace and tranquility, gently fin down, gun extended. When you feel your air starting to run out, spit the snorkel out of your mouth (stops you drowning if you get shallow water blackout) and gently ascend to the surface. Above all, keep your heart rate down. Panic is your biggest foe.

Deepest I've dived on a breath: 20 metres... I couldn't see the surface, had to do the whole mind over matter thing on the way back up my floatline. With practice many spearos go much deeper, but most fish are in the top 5-10m anyway.

Slings are OK for small reef fish, but if you can find a secondhand wooden gun about 120cm long (barrel length) then get that. Make sure it's got a rail going the whole length as well. It will pay for itself many times over

One shot, one kill, one meal... I can't stand wasting fish

You can't get the bends because you only have the air that's in your lungs, but the danger is shallow water blackout. I can't remember the specifics, and I never pushed myself hard enough to get close to the danger zone, but I think it's something to do with dissolved CO2 in your bloodstream making you black out as you get close to the surface after a deep dive. Humans have a reflex so that if you black out, you'll automatically take a breath unless there is water on your lips. With a snorkel in your mouth that failsafe doesn't kick in so you inhale a big lungful of seawater while unconscious. Not good.

Stay within your limits though and you'll have amazing adventures, see things that 95% of the population never dreamed existed, and have the primal satisfaction of hunting your next meal. Can't be beaten

hiya neb deepest i've gone on a breath was only 47ft. and max. 1.45secs but am happy with that considering i don't live close to an area stocked with fish. murky our side unless we drive 4hrs. south. i use a 1kl. weight belt and add another half if i do use a shorty..i used a sea hornet but is now kaput..so that's why the hawaiian sling..got some equalizing problems in right nasal and i do try to slomo my rythm to conserve air. richie says rissole is round hmmm...and puggy says it's mainly snow now who's pulling who's jammies?

It is possible to get bent from free divng if u do alot of deep decent's one after another because altho most co2 is released from the body after coming to the surface there is residual co2 still in the blood and each dive if done quickly enough after the other can lead to a sufficient build up to cause a bend this is very rare though. Also there is at least one condition known as a PFO (patent foramen ovali) which it is susspected at least 10 to 30% of the poppulation have which increases the likelyhood of getting bent from diving and free diving. Look it up if your intersted my fingers hurt from typing
