It’s been a fantastic week of diving this week , everything from snorkeling tours to ccr divers , an A grade list of divers at the Habitat #99

James as finally earned his SDI Oceania master diver certification after years of dedication to achieving his goals !!

I’ve been in this game many many years ! I would be able to count on one hand the divers that have exceeded my expectations!!

James Miller is on that list !!

Since our first “into to scuba” session 4 years ago to today’s TDI Sidemount & conclusion to “master diver“ recognition (well) earned today is the reason us full time independent “dive professionals “ exist and thrive all over the world is him and thousands like him!!

WE!
Make the difference one person at a time, every time and I’m endlessly proud of being a small cog on that system!

I proudly say (conversely!) …. F the P word people deserve better!!

James looking good on his first session in SM in the pool!

We have some dialling to do on his rig and cylinders but im sure you would agree a very solid effort for his first time in Sidemount!

he’s picked RED as his dive colour so we won’t he loosing him any time soon!

Thanks heaps to Wulanda aquatic centre for the pool use, having access to a great pool is essential for quality training!
