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 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 1st March 2014 Today was the first day of my Freediving Class A course with Apnea Freediving at Sunreef Mooloolaba. We spent the morning going over theory, I found the book to be fantastic, it went over Henry's Law, Boyle's Law and Dalton's Law in a very simple way that even a monkey would've been [...]
Friday 16th August 2013 After a total of fifty one hours of travel including four flights from Brisbane to Sydney, to Santiago to Guayaquil and a nine hour stopover in Guayaquil, we finally reached our destination; the spectacular Galapagos islands! A place on most diver's bucket list and a trip that spares no expense, we travelled with high expectations and got [...]
Sunday 12th May, 2013 Due to Hypothermia last Winter and having to sit some dives out because I was so cold, I was not going to make the same mistake again this year. Despite my concerns about needing to pee, and being bulky, I decided to invest in a Dry Suit. I bought an O'Three Dry [...]
