Saturday 26th July 2014 Today we set off from Brunswick heads to dive Windarra Banks; a site known for it's raging currents but big marine life. As it is always hit and miss due to weather and currents to dive, we chartered the boat full of experienced Rebreather divers and Sidemount divers, a few of the [...]
Thursday 17th July 2014 Today I embarked on a seven day liveaboard with Mike Ball dive expeditions which I had won for getting first place in the Cairns Underwater Film Festival last year. As I was leaving my usual buddies behind I decided to dive the entire trip solo. I managed to do some challenging navigational dives [...]
Sunday 29th June 2014 Why CCR (Closed Circuit Rebreather)? For the most part I seem to have mastered sneaking up to most animals, but there are always animals that are skittish like Groupers, Eagle Rays, and Sharks. A few weekends ago Ruth and Lee from BSAC on their rebreathers got two metres away from a Bull Shark [...]
Sunday 15th June 2014 Today we headed out to Boat Rock situated off Stradbroke Island, with the sun beaming down on us I had a really good feeling about today's diving. We decided to do a negative entry drift dive on Boat Rock due to it's fierce currents which we encountered the day before. This worked [...]
Sunday 1st June 2014 I was stoked to have gotten a last minute spot on the boat today with Nick K, Nick R and Mark S doing their TDI Advanced Wreck course with Darren M. I planned on doing two solo dives and with talk of the visibility being fantastic, I wanted to get some wide [...]
Saturday 10th May 2014 Today we headed out on Chris' boat with the hopes of diving Las Vegas, but as there was a two metre swell and fifteen knot South Eastery we stayed inside the bay to dive Curtain Artificial Wrecks. It must have been about a year since diving this site so I was actually quite keen [...]
Friday 18th April 2014 Today we headed out with Chris, Christian, Hannah, Nick and myself to dive outside Moreton Bay. We did our first dive at Gotham city which had amazing visibility of twenty five metres and the boys saw a Bronze Whaler here. Pretty dive and no current, so the usual big schools of Pelagics were not [...]
Friday 18th April 2014 Today we spotted a pod of dolphins outside Morton Bay on the surface so we tried to make some noise by tapping the boat and attracting them over. Funnily enough this actually worked and they came towards us. I had always wanted to see Dolphins underwater, but they had always eluded me. [...]
Saturday 12th April 2014 Today was a brilliant sunny day and the first time in ages to have the whole crew together; Mark, Nick K, Nick R, Tom and myself as well as Jess, Shannon and Gary who we knew. The other extras on the boat were also quite experienced so Manta Lodge gave us the [...]
Saturday 12th April 2014 I was filming a Manta ray at Manta Ray Bommie today at about eight metres when all of a sudden I heard this shoosh shoosh shoosh sound...I thought that sounds like my BCD inflating? I felt my BCD and listened again and sure enough it was somehow self-inflating out of control. I went to [...]
