31 August 22 - Contents of the dive shop for sale - $20000+GST

It’s unfortunate, but it seems that no one wants to buy the Dive Shop in Darwin as a going
concern. To me it still seems like a pretty good little sideline business that could have been
grown into something much bigger, especially given the lack of any kind of opposition for a
few thousand kilometers.
I’m still going travelling though so now I’d like to offer the entire contents of the dive shop
for $20000 +GST

What you’d get for your money is:

Air
Bauer Capitano 330Bar compressor with fill panel, custom made frame and 2 G cylinders
Two tower filtration system
Nitrox capable (twin analyser, gauges, regulators) but this has never been used
18 dive cylinders – mix of steel and aluminium, some 207Bar others 240Bar, most in test

Hire
3 sets of hire regs
10 hire BCDs and a multitude of fins, masks, boots, weight belts, weights
Powerdive hire unit

Shop
Fins, masks, snorkelsBCDs, computers, regulators, stinger suits, boots, knives, torches,
weight belts, weights, hoses, fin and mask straps, mouthpieces, inflators, spearfishing
equipment – you get the picture.
Shop Fittings

Workshop
Full set of service equipment, enough to service and repair most makes of gear.
Service books
140 service kits for various popular regulators
Ultrasonic cleaner
Pressure pot
Regulator test equipment
Custom made service bench
O Rings by the hundreds
Lubricants and cleaning fluids
Workshop benches
Boxes of 2nd hand spare parts

I Don’t want to split it up and you’d need to take it all away from its current location.
Please contact me if you‘d like more information.

I-124 WWII Japanese Submarine

Great bit of animation, ably narrated by Dave Steinberg ( State Maritime Archaeologist for the Northern Territory Government), highlighting the wreck of the I-124 a Japanese minelaying submarine sunk not far outside Darwin harbour in 1942. The sub went down with all 80 crew onboard - there were no survivors.

For those of you who don't know about this historic wreck this short video will give you some very interesting information. The submarine is sitting at about 46m but is not a dive site.

If you would like to hear the full story of the sinking of the sub and subsequent salvage attempts, Dr Tom Lewis has a great book on the subject - Darwin's Submarine 1-124: The Story of a Covert Japanese Squadron Waging a Secret Underwater War Against Northern Australia

The I-124 Japanese submarine was sunk off Darwin Harbour, Australia, on the 20 of January 1942. This VR experience demonstrates a recent multibeam sonar sur...

This is the second video from the Fenton Patches trip, diving the Amelia C and Antares

14/12/2021

Great day diving with the DSAC guys last Sunday. We dived on the Amelia C, an old prawn trawler which sits beside the Antares, an old coastal trader. Both vessels were sunk as artificial reefs at around 30m depth
Lots of fish around the place including Groper and a big Ray. Vis was okay, probably 8 to 10 m. Lots of anchors hanging off the rigging, must be a very frustrating place for fishers.

Got to try out my new GoPro on this trip too. I think I need to work on my videoing skill set 😁
