Bits of shrapnel

Knots on the Web - is the most complete listing of websites on Knots and Knot theory I've ever seen. Worth a long browse with a couple of lengths of rope!
Fish Species Database - contains heaps of other stuff as well.
The Cephalopod home page of James B. Wood.
Captain John's Undersea Explorer Web Site - a great link to find out about budget priced adventure trips in the Coral Sea and the Ribbons.
Diving in Australia
Michael McFadyen's Scuba Diving web site has much useful info on MANY things.
Dive Computer Reviews
Divers Alert Network (DAN) South East Asia Pacific is a good source of SCUBA medical texts and oxygen equipment.
Rodale's SCUBA Diving On-Line Edition has great articles and diving medical information. An example is this explanation of Microbubbles, Patent Foramen Ovale and Brain Lessions

Outdoor gear by mail order

As the SCUBA Club goes all over the South Coast, it can be handy to have some of those nice high-tec widgets that make camping so much more enjoyable. While there's nothing wrong with the idea of buying Australian, there also nothing good about paying lots extra to have many middle-people taking their cut. Here are some links to Mail Order companies on the Net that provide some very, very attractive prices.

Campmor has a great selection, a "Virtual Store", and you can order a hard copy of their catalogue over the Net.
REI is one of the biggest in the US.
Wilderness Furnishings has a LOT more than tables and chairs!
MSR makes some of the most common liquid fuel stoves used by the Club.
Textile Outfitters Inc. is "a unique retail and mail order store specializing in Technical Fabrics (Polartec, Gore-tex, Ultrex, Supermicroft, Lycra, Cordura, Thinsulate), hardware, patterns and notions to make your own activewear or outdoor clothing and gear" (that's their words, not mine). If you're into making your own gear, take a look...
Lands End is a mail order shop which has outdoor gear.
