Beqa Lagoon, Fiji – Black & White Tip Sharks @5m
Diving Beqa Lagoon (Pronounced Benga) was absolutely fantastic. I have never seen so many sharks before on a single dive. The sharks just swim gracefully around you as if you are not even there munching and crunching on their food. This video is of our safety stop coming up from 30m after seeing the bigger […]

Back in September 2009 Dorota and I visited Trial Bay Gaol when we booked a weekend away to dive Fish Rock Cave at South West Rocks.

Today Dorota and I went to visit the Chinese Garden of Friendship at Darling Harbour, Sydney. It’s set in the hustling centre of the CBD, yet is very quiet and all you can here is running water from the numerous waterfalls. We visited the Garden in true Ming Dynasty style and hired Chinese costume. I […]

I’m not a bridge enthusiast or anything but I really love this bridge, it was crazy to see how much the wooden decking moved when trucks passed over it. The bridge is also the only surviving suspension bridge from the colonial period of NSW and was an outstanding engineering achievement for its time. Hampden Bridge […]

Well this is it everyone, the video you’ve been waiting for over a year to see. The Polish Wedding Dancing Competition. Which I was able to win due to irrational behavior caused by chronic alcohol intoxication from drinking a few liters of potato juice, wodka. (In Polish the word Vodka is spelt and pronounced wodka, […]

Wow. This photo was taken at 0630 this morning whilst walking to the gym. At first I thought it was some unusual fog. It was only after leaving the gym and seeing people in dust masks and all the cars and streets in red dust that I realised it wasn’t. I went to have a […]

What is really sad is that these magnificant mammals are nearly extinct. There are only belived to be around 300 Nurse Sharks and will be extinct within 7 years.
