Friday 8th July 2016 Six years. The amount of time I have talked about diving the Yongala wreck but never managed to get there, before now. The Yongala wreck is voted by many as one of the best dive sites in the world so it has a lot to live up to. I met Mark in [...]
The Making of 'Backyard’ the anti-litter documentary 4.6.2016 When enrolling in the Landmark Self Expression and Leadership personal development course, we were asked to create a community project over a three month period. Many ideas came to mind, the more obvious ones for me being underwater film or shark conservation. Then one evening when walking the [...]
Saturday 14th May - Julian Rocks Wow today Julian Rocks had the best visibility I have ever seen! At least thirty to forty metres visibility, flat seas, no current, no swell and a beautiful sunny day. I was solo diving today and first in, so I made my way to the Cod hole filming some Trumpet [...]
Sunday 3rd April 2016 Flat seas, sun shining, hardly a breath of wind and almost no current as we pulled up to the site of The Sea Rogue. The boys in CCR descended first with their scooters to position the anchor. Then the GUE divers and scooters and Nick and I soon after. I played around [...]
Sunday 20th March 2016 Finally we got superb conditions for diving. Reasonably flat seas with no surge, fifteen to twenty metres visibility and the nicest current.

Tuesday 1st March 2016 Nick Kermode; a committee member of the No Shark Cull organisation in partnership with Sea Shepherd, hosted what can only be described as the best turnout of an Ocean conservation fundraising event in Brisbane that I've ever been to. A sold out event at one hundred and seventy five tickets, the event [...]
Sunday 21st February 2016 Finally the bout of bad diving weather has lifted! Today we headed out to Julian Rocks where there was rumour of seven Manta Rays and thirty odd Leopard Sharks a day earlier. It was pretty lumpy on the way out but when we got there we could see blue water and minimal [...]
Saturday 19th December 2015 It was a beautiful hot sunny day and the water temperature was a balmy twenty five degrees Celsius, Summer was here and we were heading out to dive Manta Bommie at North Stradbroke Island. Nick R. and I decided to do one long dive instead of two dives as we were diving [...]
Friday 27th November 2015 Today Nick and I had the pleasure of flying up to Cairns to join Pawel Achtel as his camera assistants of the filming of his 3D Big Screen film ‘The Sea of Love’. Primarily Pawel wanted to shoot the Coral spawning which was all at night so we had a chance to [...]
