FAVOURITE & USEFUL LINKS
One thing we all do on the net is drift aimlessly form one website to another, much like a chain of consciousness. To help give your net drift dive some direction we thought we would add some of our favourite links to the site.
Broadly, we categorised these into Aquanaut related product/brand links, dive travel and destination related links and finally other dive related links.
If you have any favourite sites of your own on the net and would like to share them, please feel free to contact us to have them added.

We are a retail seller for all Ocean Enterprise stock. This has long been my personal favourite source for books.
Many of you may already be familiar with the owner - PETER STONE. A fantastic and successful author of books in this genre and in his own right.
COLEMAN'S WORLD OF WATER:
Neville Coleman OAM 1938 – 2012
On the 5th of May 2012 Neville Coleman OAM peacefully passed away. We’ll always remember Neville as a great underwater explorer and naturalist who dedicated his life to the World of Water. He leaves a great empty space in the diving community.
Neville Coleman Legacy Initiative
“The future of the World of Water depends entirely on us. Unless we accept the responsibility and endeavour to change our attitudes towards its welfare today, the children of tomorrow will only mirror our ignorance. They deserve a better inheritance – after all, they have to live with and attempt to correct our mistakes. They can only do this if we give them a legacy worthy of their belief.”
N. Coleman
Neville Coleman was a living legend and a pioneer of ocean exploration. He has left the world richer from his discoveries and has created a unique visual legacy for future generations to treasure.
