Diver on the ex-HMAS Brisbane wreck

The person leading your dive

Diving since 2010, a PADI Divemaster since 2013, and a technical diver at home on everything from a gentle reef to a deep wreck.

G’day, I’m Jamie

I’ve been diving since 2010 and a PADI Divemaster since 2013 — I marked ten years as a Divemaster in 2023. Along the way a deepening passion took me from recreational diving all the way to the technical edge.

I dive a Divesoft Liberty sidemount closed-circuit rebreather, I’m a technical diver trained to 60 m (Module 2), drysuit and DPV certified, wreck trained and an Advanced Gas Blender.

None of that is here to impress you. It’s here so you know that when you’re in the water with me, the planning, the gas and the what-ifs are already handled — leaving you free to simply enjoy the dive.

I’m based in Southeast Queensland, where Moreton Bay, Flinders Reef and our local wrecks are my backyard. Off Flat Rock at North Stradbroke Island I once had a true wild encounter with a great white shark — the kind of moment you never forget. The diving has taken me further afield too, to tropical blue holes in the Pacific.
