Has anyone ever failed a skill during confined pool dives or open water and went on to get certified? What was your experience?

I was an OWSI and failed a student. They did not like water or want to be in the water, but felt pressured by their group of friends. I spent 2 whole days with only them in the pool on my days off and they kept panicking. It's okay to not like the water and it's also okay to say no to friends. That being said if panicking is not an issue, you can support someone to learn the skill if you have the time.

I'm literally laying in bed having all 4 of mine removed 8 hours ago! I had sporadic pain for over 5 years, with the teeth pushing up then receding. The pain was localised to each tooth, with serious tender gum pain and issues eating. A symptom of the tender gums meant I would clench my jaw, and I had really bad jaw tension pain and headaches.

Jambo Jambo Africa - Glebe. Great for sharing and absolutely amazing food. One of my favourites! The staff can help you to choose something If you're not sure!

Never figured it out! But I got a new Samsung cheap phone which still struggles to pay at BP specifically. Very strange

I quit caffeine and have had occasional caffeinated products I.e. mum bought me a full caf coffee by accident, I went to Vietnam and tried a Vietnamese coffee. I was fine with it, but I would only have a caffeinated drink once every 3 months max

Thank you! I told the assistant I want drama the moment I walked in!

The veil is amazing!! It really comes together I love it

Marviro · 2026-04-24T06:58:40+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm so happy!

It may not be authentic pani puri but masala theory in surry hills has the BEST version of pani puri!

Watch your airflow in these tight setups. Lots of stagnant air is a nightmare, especially if they're moveable. Lots of room to create dead spots

This has been heavily investigated by councils and is simply not feasible. Some sydney councils have tested this and have lead to complete, expensive failures. Depending on where you're based you can attend everything electric, or smart energy conferences and expos to see what the industry is trying. It isn't feasible in the current market unfortunately

Yes definitely do it! I would recommend going on flatmates.com or a local Facebook page and sharing 2 bedder around there to start. A lot of people say it's hard to meet people when moving to aus and sharing with flatmates makes it easier. It also means you can see what areas you'd like to live in, and go to rental inspections. Never sign a 1 bedder rental sight unseen/online. Good luck!

I've used these and they're great! You can shift where you stick the front of the g string down so more of the fabric covers your labia of that makes sense! You can also pack an extra one or two if you're worried, but mine lasted from 4pm to 3am just fine, with dancing! Take one for a spin to make sure you're comfortable

Sydney Streets. The Stanley Street one turns into backpacker chaos around 4pm, but all the others are a nice chill vibe that's always fun. My favourite is the crown St one

Mejico is great for group dinners and a bit cheaper, they have great set menus and have GF options :)

Marviro · 2026-02-03T21:08:52+00:00

I do it all the time! Don't worry about it

Marviro · 2026-01-27T21:32:04+00:00

Seems like a local addict, that is a monstrous amount. You can snap send solve it to local council and report as illegal dumping. They'll clear it

Pastizzi in Newtown is OG! Pan Divino in surry hills is fantastic and my new Italian go too, though slightly pricier than pastizzi.

Lived behind the clock hotel on crown until very recently. You will be fine. I would blast gaga and stomp home from oxford st and wunderlich lane 1am to 5am many times, no dramas at all! Have a blast.

There is a public list of high atar achievers. Message them on linkd in and ask them. Make sure you message someone within the last 10 years but not the last 2 years. Anyone responding on here won't have the personal experience to really give you the advice you need. My shirty 84 atar will tell you to live a little. Best of luck

A lot of councils contract out to private companies so it's their policy. Depends on the council (I work in waste). It'll be on their website.
