Index
Looking at the list of archives on the right hand side, I realised I’ve amassed quite a lot of information on Australian diving, caves and otherwise. However, it’s a bit spread out and hard to find. After some work cleaning up my tagging I present to you this index which I hope will be helpful for looking up specific caves or dive destinations.
Cave destinations
Mt Gambier – caves, sinkholes, the whole lot.
Tank Cave – the crown jewel of the Mt Gambier caves, I’ve taken more than a few photos in here
Elk River – monthly updates on our ongoing exploration project in eastern Victoria
Nullarbor Plains – several trips out here, including dives in Weebubbie, Warbla, Tommy Grahams and Murra-el-elevyn
Roe Plains – several trips including Olwolgin Cave (and the bit initially called Unnamed Cave) and Burnabbie Cave
Mt Hypipamee Crater, QLD – exploration trip in August 2011
Camooweal Caves, QLD – exploration trip in August 2012
NSW caves – McCavity and Jenolan diving in 2012 & 2014

The Lot – diving the underwater caves of France with lots of good cheese in the surface intervals
Rebreather diving
Dives on the rEvo – currently most of them, and also includes reviews of my MOD1, MOD2 and MOD3 courses.
Dry caving
Usually damp, and often carrying dive gear but not necessarily using it – see here.
