The New Canon A80 Camera Review: the latest Powershot covered candidly in www.bigfish.com.my/news/jan04camerareview.htm - it's all good!!

313 meters-1,032 feet!! Mark Ellyatt beats John Bennett's previous mark by just 5 meters! The Skinny in: www.bigfish.com.my/news/jan04 mark.htm!!

From previous months: US Navy's development of their sonar which also killed whales 8 MONTHS BEFORE it came out on regular news wires. Audrey Mestre's tragic death while breaking the World Freediving record was overlooked as it happened on the same day as the Bali bombing; the newest wreck in Thailand was covered on its maiden dive by recreational divers.

"David and I just wanted to say thanks for a fabulous long weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and came home feeling quite weary from all the sea air and exercise (for David!), but happy :-) You are very very good at what you do and your leadership certainly added to the enjoyment of the trip. Looking forward to our catch-up! Cheers -

"Reeza was our Mother Hen - repairing cameras, organising our dives and making sure we saw the best that Sipadan and Mabul had to offer. By our last night on Sipadan, everyone wanted to be part of our small, exclusive group - "Reeza's Babes"!!. Started as strangers, and left as friends.. Thanks Skinny Brown One!"

"The best part was breathing underwater. I didn't feel afraid because the water wasn't deep and everyone was around. At first I wasn't comfortable but my teacher (Reeza) let me try it out again and again until it was all right. I don't swim very well and this is the first time I have worn a proper swimsuit but it was fun!"
