Somebody has to do it - and I regard myself as eminently qualified, (as long
as none of them threaten to take me apart if I eat the last spicy meatball!)
:-)

In fact that's where I'm off to right now.  Down to Jervis Bay - some 230
k's south from Sydney - that's claimed to be second only to the Great
Barrier Reef in terms of quality diving!  Ralf's in Germany, so he's loaned
me his Jeep and his petrol card; I've got my diving gear in the back; and
even remembered to put film in the camera.  It should be two-days of fun -
and food!  :-)
