De beste duik lokaties in NSW [door Dutch_On_Line]

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:34:55 +0000

Van alles en nog wat:: De beste duik lokaties in NSW
The state's top sites, such as Jervis Bay in the south and Port Stephens to the north, lend themselves to a weekend of diving.
For those not yet qualified, dive shops in Sydney and along the coast offer entry-level open-water courses.
Merimbula and Eden
Known as the Sapphire Coast, part of the deep south's appeal is water clarity.
Off Eden, the Tasman Hauler wreck is the most notable dive. Scuttled in 1987 and standing upright in the sand at 29 metres, the tug is a thrilling introduction to wreck diving.

Merimbula Wharf is considered one of the best shore dives in NSW, according to Mike Standen, of Merimbula's Divers Lodge. "It's easy to get in and easy to get out and drops gradually to 15 metres," Standen says.
Merimbula Divers Lodge, Park Street, Merimbula. Double boat dives cost $219 including gear. Next open-water course begins on February 3 and costs $440 with prior online learning. Accommodation onsite from $29 a person a night. Phone 1800 651861
www.merimbuladiverslodge.com.au.

Batemans Bay, Narooma and Montague Island
Canberra-based Indepth Scuba runs weekend dives from Batemans Bay and Narooma and visits Montague Island Nature Reserve, where the marine life includes Australian fur seals and grey nurse sharks.
Indepth Scuba has double boat dives with gear for $150.
Next open-water course starts on February 6, costs $535. Accommodation costs $38 a night at the Batemans Bay dive lodge. Phone 6251 2011,
www.indepthscuba.com.au.

Narooma Charters has double boat dives for $99 without gear. Phone 0407 909 111
www.naroomacharters.com.au/diving.htm.

Ulladulla
About 227 kilometres south of Sydney, Ulladulla has a variety of shore and boat dives, as well as a little-known site at Brush Island, 20 kilometres south, off Bawley Point.
"The pick of the Ulladulla dives is Lighthouse Wall, where you can drift along a sheer 100-metre-long wall covered in gorgonian fans and sea tulips," says Karen Williams of Ulladulla Dive.
On the sandy bottom are numb rays and shovel nose sharks.
Ulladulla Dive has double boat dives for $170 with gear. Next open-water course starts on February 4, costs $390 with prior online learning.
Phone 4455 3029

Jervis Bay
Beautiful Jervis has more than 30 sites.
"There is so much variety here," says Bill Mountford of Dive Jervis Bay. "
There are reefs, drop-offs and gutters to explore and between May and October we can dive with the seals at the Drum and Drumsticks site."
A popular site is the Docks, with its double-decker cave and sponge gardens.
Dive Jervis Bay at Huskisson has half-day boat dives from $170 including gear.
Next open-water course from February 4 costs $445 with prior online learning.
Phone 4441 5255
www.divejervisbay.com

Shellharbour
At Shellharbour, south of central Wollongong, there is the intriguing possibility of diving using an underwater scooter, enabling you to cover about four kilometres in a single dive and visit Spider Rock, where three types of underwater arachnid are spotted.
Shellharbour Scuba, 41 Addison Street. Scooter hire costs $50 a dive, gear $80, tank refills $8.
Next open-water course starts on March 3, costs $395.
Phone 4296 4266
www.shellharbourscuba.com.au

Sydney
From diving in Botany Bay to exploring the wreck of the Valiant off Palm Beach, Sydney has diverse sites.
Iconic spots such as the Gap, which has caves and boulders, Camp Cove in the harbour and North Head's Old Man's Shoulder are among the city's best sites.
Dive shops include Pro Dive in Cronulla

Central Coast
The HMAS Adelaide was scuttled off Terrigal last April and it's already a popular site.
More wrecks, reefs and caves are nearby. "Skillion Cave is a fantastic site," says Terrigal Dive Centre's Scott Deal, "with colourful ascidian sponges and coral."
Terrigal Dive Centre, at Terrigal Haven, has double boat dives for $188 including gear.
Regular combined open-water and specialty boat dive courses cost $560.

Nelson Bay and Port Stephens
About 230 kilometres north of Sydney, Port Stephens has two of the east coast's best shore dives, at Halifax (to a depth of 29 metres) and Fly Point (three to 24 metres).
At Halifax you might encounter moray eels and pineapple fish as well as amiable blue gropers.
Shoal Bay is great for shallow training dives and Port Stephens's huge natural harbour is one of the state's best places to learn to dive.
Further offshore and definitely worth the 12-kilometre boat ride is the Broughton Islands group, where the most popular site
is a 50-metre channel running through the Looking Glass.
Let's Go Adventures Nelson Bay has single guided shore dives, including gear, for $95.
Double Broughton Island boat dives cost $150, including tanks. The next open-water course starts on February 4 and costs from $375. Five-time national record holder Alana Caskey-Wells also runs regular free-diving courses.

Seal Rocks and Forster-Tuncurry
"Diving at Seal Rocks is like visiting 'the land that time forgot'," says John Duggan of Tuncurry's Action Divers. "Everything's so big - the boulders, pelagics and the aggregations of between 30 and 100 grey nurse sharks." Closer to Forster is the Pinnacles, an impressive deeper dive where large schools of kingfish and more grey nurses gather.
Action Divers at Tuncurry runs double boat dives at Seal Rocks for $170 including gear, and dives at Forster for $160. Open-water courses can be booked for a minimum of two people for $420.

"Fish Rock Cave is what most people come to South West Rocks to dive," says Jon Cragg of FishRock Dive Centre.
"It's one of the southern hemisphere's longest ocean caverns at 125 metres and is a superb dive.
Our first boat dive is normally around the shark gutters, where we see lots of grey nurses and then ... through the cave."
FishRock Dive Centre at South West Rocks has double boat dives including gear for $175.
Open-water courses cost $450.
Phone 6566 6614

Solitary Islands
The Solitary Islands Marine Reserve extends for 75 kilometres offshore near Coffs Harbour and is home to more than 550 species of reef fish. There's wonderful visibility and the mix of warm and cold ocean currents means both temperate and tropical marine life, especially around South Solitary Island, are spotted.
Jetty Dive at Coffs Harbour has double boat dives for $160 including gear. Open-water courses can be booked, four people minimum, for $495.

Diving Lord Howe Island
About 600 kilometres off the coast and fringed by the world's most southerly coral reefs, Lord Howe Island has more than 60 top-class dive sites ranging from easy off-the-beach dives inside the lagoon, to exploring the outer reef, to the more challenging Ball's Pyramid site, a huge sea stack 20 kilometres offshore where marlin are occasionally sighted.
Regarded as one of the Pacific's most beautiful islands, Lord Howe's underwater topography is equally beguiling, with volcanic dropoffs, caves and multicoloured reefs.
Marine life includes rare and endemic species such as double-headed wrasse, Spanish dancers and Galapagos whaler sharks. Warm, clear waters make Lord Howe, a World Heritage site, the complete package for divers.
The island has two dive shops.

Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) [door NDSM]

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:27:43 +0000

Wie heeft informatie over.........:: Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM)
In 1962 werd de Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij te Amsterdam mijn eerste werkgever. Omdat de meeste familieleden van mij daar al werkzaam waren lag dit ook voor de hand. In 1894 opgericht als de Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij is het in 1946 samengegaan met de in 1920 opgerichte Nederlandsche Dok Maatschapij. In 1984 viel door economische neergang en verkwanseling door de Nederlandse regering het doek.
Al tientallen jaren ben ik bezig met de geschiedenis van dit bedrijf. Mijn belangstelling gaat uit naar de cultuur, sfeer, personeelverenigingen, personeelsbladen, arbeidsomstandigheden, gebouwen en werkplaatsen maar vooral naar de daar gebouwde schepen en allen die daaraan ooit gewerkt hebben.
Ik weet dat een aantal werknemers, vooral in de naoorlogse periode, is geëmigreerd naar o.a. de VS, Canada, Nieuw Zeeland en Australië. Ik zou graag in contact komen met deze mannen of hun nabestaanden.
Sinds april vorig jaar ben ik bezig met een website over dit onderwerp. Thans is nog maar een fractie van wat ik bezit en kan en wil tonen te zien. Geleidelijk aan zal er steeds meer informatie worden toegevoegd. Ik hoop dat er mensen zijn die mij aan informatie kunnen helpen. Met vriendelijke groet, Ruud van der Sluis. www.ndsm-werfmuseum.nl

Nieuwjaarswensen voor 2012 [door gary]

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:32:58 +0000

Op- en aanmerkingen:: Nieuwjaarswensen voor 2012

Wij willen iedereen een heel gelukkig 2012 toewensen.

Dutch On-Line huishoudelijk:

Ook afgelopen jaar is het aantal bezoekers aan de Dutch On-Line Promotions website weer gestegen. Uiteraard zijn wij daar heel erg blij mee, en dat is voor ons een reden om door te blijven gaan met het verzorgen van informatie voor de Nederlandstalige gemeenschap in Australië.

Wij zijn met name dankbaar voor onze sponsoren die ons helpen de kosten te drukken, en nodigen eventuele gegadigden uit contact met ons op te nemen.

De website:

Inmiddels geïmplementeerde aanpassingen.
Het zal sommige mensen opgevallen zijn dat de Blogs verdwenen zijn van de site. Onze statistieken wezen uit dat er geen echte belangstelling voor Blogs is. Bovendien waren de ingezonden commentaren over het algemeen niet echt van toepassing op de Eerste inzending hetgeen nogal verwarrend werkt.

Vandaar dat wij hebben besloten de Blogs geheel op te nemen als Topics in de verschillende Forums. Commentaren / antwoorden op de artikelen worden gewoon doorgegeven volgens de notificatie methode zoals die geselecteerd is in uw Account pagina.

Verder hebben wij aan aantal verschillende editors toegevoegd. Dit is gedaan zodat (bijna) iedereen een editor kan gebruiken die hij of zij gewend is te gebruiken.

Geplande aanpassingen.
Om de gehele site navigatie en het zoeken te vereenvoudigen hebben wij ook besloten om the Tips en Informatie pagina's te integreren in onze forums. Dit zal het ook makkelijker maken om een artikel toe te voegen, en zal hopnelijk de drempel om een artikel toe te voegen verlagen. Deze verandering zal in de komende dagen gebeuren.

Bedankt allemaal voor jullie steun en medewerking aan het success van Dutch On-Line Promotions
