G'day,

I've adjusted the default zoom level of the location maps from 50m to 100 metres. Less need to zoom out to see nearby sites. Less likely to see the location map with no satellite or aerial imagery.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Thanks Packo,

I've updated the Hurricane dive site page using the information you've provided. See https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesite ... =Hurricane

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day,

Success! I've found where the zoom level is set and adjusted it for a better result on the dive site location maps. Sometimes it's the little things that count.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

My attention then drifted to the other new feature of "a direct zoom to a google map" image of the dive site. I have some shortcomings about the present implementation of this feature because in some cases the specified "zoom level" is too high and google does not have aerial im...

Thanks Packo, After reading through your extensive research I've made your suggested changes, plus added in the details of the other marks for The Pinnacles and Gambier. The problem of lots of GPS marks and not knowing which ones are correct is insidious. I found a research paper by someone at Herit...

Thanks Packo,

I've made the correction for the Casino as you suggested.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day,

On all shore dives we now have a "Get directions" link. It takes you to a Google Map with direction for driving to the dive site.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day, I'm confused! Which cave is which? In the dive sites database, we have... Toms Cave https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesite.htm?site=Toms-Cave Description: Tom's Cave is a nice little cave dive on Lonsdale Wall. The entrance on the wall is at around 30 metres (98 feet), then you proceed throu...

G'day, We've added a new feature to our dive site pages. Every page now shows a Google Map centred on the location of the dive site. You can zoom out to see nearby dive sites. You can even go to a full page view. (Previously you could click to view a map, but it wouldn't show the other sites nearby....

G'day, The Nature Conservancy has provided us with more detailed and up-to-date location information about the following shellfish reef sites in Port Phillip. 9ft Bank Shellfish Reef - https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesite.htm?site=9ft-Bank-Shellfish-Reef Dromana Shellfish Reef - https://www.scuba...

G'day, We're finished adding the diving and snorkelling sites located within Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary, or quite nearby.

G'day,

I've now started to enhanced these "Finding the" information blocks to include the distance and bearing the extra GPS marks are from the GPS marks we're using for the dive site. It really helps to better understand the relationship between the marks.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day, We have some mystery GPS Marks, often named for an existing dive site or wreck, but not located anywhere near the GPS marks we're currently using for the dive site. 18 Metre Reef - See https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesite.htm… (-38 17.663, 144 35.323) Albert - Maybe https://vhd.heritagecou...

G'day, In some cases, we have multiple GPS Marks for the same dive site. I've started to add the details of all of the GPS marks. The one we're using is highlighted. The others are also shown and we now also show the distance and bearing these other marks are from the one we're using. In some cases,...

G'day,

We've started to add dive site maps to more of the dive sites. Thes show the entry and exit points, and sometimes the suggested path you could tae on the dive. If you spot any mistakes or have an improvement, please let us know.
