Diving – Osprey and Great Barrier Reef
A magnificent five days diving on board the Spirit of Freedom, sailing from Lizard Island, east to the Osprey Reef, and then working our way back down the ribbon reefs, and then back to Cairns.

Wonderful weekend diving on board the Ocean Trek. Home of numerous Weedy sea dragons (pictured), Grey Nurse sharks, Bull Rays, and other interesting NSW marine life
Varied diving in the beautiful sapphire coast of South New South Wales. We did six dives here, four wreck dives exploring two sunken tug boats at Eden, and a shore dive under the nearby pier at Taritha.
A third trip to the beautiful island of Koh Tao, for some superb SE Asia diving. Balmy 30 degree water temperature, colourful collection of soft and hard corals and multitudes of tropical fish.
Chowder Bay, in Sydney’s North Shore, is one of my favourite spots in Sydney. An old whaling station, it was named after the abundant fish life that inhabits the waters.
South West Rocks, about six hours North of Sydney, is one of NSW’s best dive spots, chiefly because it offers unparralled opportunities to get up close to the Grey Nurse shark.
Only two weeks to go till we go up to dive in South West rocks
I spent a week recently on the lush garden island of Taveuni, Fiji’s third largest. Beautiful place, hardly anyone there, mega friendly locals, and some great diving. The world’s most friendly people often seem to be in directly inverse proportion to the amount of wealth they have. Fijians are a case in point; you could not meet a more friendly, genuinely welcoming people, yet most eke out a subsistence level island life, living off the land and the ocean.
