I enjoy deep temperate water diving, and primarily dive around my Island home of Tasmania. I enjoy under water photography and have a Nikon Coolpix 8400 housed in a Ikelite housing with a Ikelite DS125 strobe.

I have completed a SSI decompression course to allow me to spend more time at depth in the 30-50 meter range exploring deep reefs and local wrecks. There is much to explore around Tasmania especially the deeper reefs that are largely unexplored.

Dive Equipment:

I dive with a Dive Rite Transpac, utilising both single and double manifold tanks. I love the trans pack for its ability to quick change between single and twin tanks and find it very comfortable. I use Apex DS4 first stage regulators and ATX 40 second stages with a 5' hose. I find the Apex regs fantastic to breath from I like them for their simplicity and stylish looks. The house routing is perfect using these regs for doubles.

I use a Delta P Vr2 to track dive time depth and decompression status. I find this a fantastic computer for both decompression and non decompression dives.

I use a Northern Diver CNX dry suit for the cool water diving I love. I find this suit very comfortable but am a little disappointed in it's wearing ability ie not as durable as ND claim.

I use a 40cf aluminium Catalina as a sling tank usually with 50 or 100% 02 for accelerated decompression
