raseenaAt the southern end of town (by 'Marine Parks' and headland path) is a completely netted off bay. It is small but absolutely perfect for training. It would not surprise me if it is used as a year around fall-back for the OW dives (I did some assists for OW students there and it was perfect...)
It varies depending on the monsoon. As a rule a place might say (on their www) 'closed Nov-Jan'. But then if monsoon has not arrived stay open for all of Nov. Other places do not shut at all.JR8 wrote:Yah oso say. I was contemplating how one might be taught something you already know. Don't bogart it man, I'm having a zen moment.
Secondly for the Open Water qualifying dives it really doesn't matter what the weather is like, they'll just overweight you anyway and stick you anywhere that has 4-5m depth and a flattish bottom. In my experience most OW students are so blown away to see any sea-life that poor visibility shouldn't distract them unduly.
