I have been captivated by the underwater world all my life. I was always a ‘water baby’ growing up in suburban Melbourne, and spending family summer holidays on the Morning ton Peninsula foreshore. Scuba diving was a natural progression for me. I gained my Open Water certification in the early 1980’s, and eventually progressed into dive leadership/ instruction during the 1990’s.
I dived whenever I could (in those days, every weekend), whilst ‘paying the bills’ doing my ‘weekday’ job as an accountant. A lot has changed in my life since those early days, but my passion for scuba remains as strong as ever.
I have dived extensively along the Australian east coast, and have also been fortunate to experience some amazing diving overseas, in the Pacific Islands, Asia and Europe.
As an instructor, I have always enjoyed introducing people to the thrill of SCUBA diving. I never tire of it, and am constantly in awe of our stunning diving here in Victoria. My motivation is always to teach new students in a fun, but informed way, and give them the tools and confidence to continue their underwater adventures.
After many years living interstate, I have now re-settled on the Bellarine Peninsula, and have been teaching with Stephen here at ADI for the last 12 months. It is a great place to work. The PADI training system is also a very good one. So if you have ever wanted to ‘get wet’ … come on in… I look forward to seeing you on my next Open Water dive course.
