- Why did you get into diving?
- I got hooked watching my Dad diving, as well as watching programs/ reading books about diving.
- Most memorable dive
- HMCS Mackenzie, right after being sunk as an artifical reef. Why? Because it was almost 10 years to the day that I sailed to Australia on her. In my time in the Navy, I either sailed on,or worked on almost every ex-navy ship that has been sunk as an artifical reef. Also got a chance to dive the "Mac" on Sufaced Supplied Air, what a blast!
