A message from Craig

"A spur of the moment decision to do a scuba course in 1999 whilst on holidays changed my life. Within months, I had become a Divemaster and was working in the industry. Upon my return to Australia and my job as a registered nurse, life as I knew it just wasn't the same so I became a scuba instructor and opened a dive shop.

The adventure provided since then through scuba diving stay as great memories for the rest of my days. I have dived throughout the world and taught many people from all walks of life. Each and every experience has been unique in its own way.

The lifestyle is one your friends will envy...now you can embark on the same journey...." - Craig Randall
