Had an amazing time exploring on and in the water with these guys. Such an amazing bunch of people to learn so many different aspects of the reef from.

I have to admit, I was trying to look in as many crevices, holes and corners of the reef as I could while diving but when I looked up to see where everyone else was, they were all doing the same! Great minds! 🦀🦞🐙🐠🐟🐋🐡

Special thanks to all involved especially to Brent from inviting me along!

Had the absolutely awesome day on Tuesday. Was given the chance to fly over The Heart of the Reef, for the first time! ZigZag Whitsundays is introducing a new scenic flight package with Fly Australia Charter. It was a beautiful day and the reef was as gorgeous as ever! Low tide made Hill Inlet more spectacular than ever! Heres a few snaps from the air!

Patiently waiting for the arrival of the Humpback Whales. Cant wait for more sightings this year this time onboard Already spotted some Manta Rays around the Islands.

I've jumped ship!!

It's the end of an era (for now! 😜). I want to thank all at Tall Ship Adventures, for all the amazing memories I have and for all the laughs along the way. I especially want to thank Jo and Waz for giving me so many opportunities to further my career. I had an amazing 4 years on board the Derwent Hunter , it was such a privilege and honour to sail the old girl.

Im now working on board ZigZag Whitsundays. Little different to the sailing adventures on Derwent Hunter 🤪 ZigZag offers a high speed adrenaline tour around the Whitsundays including snorkelling, lunch at South Whitehaven Beach and cocktails at Palm Bay on Long Island. Thanks to the crew for making me feel welcome!

Here's a short video on what ZigZag Whitsundays offers (I cant take credit for the video as I didn't make this one! 🤪)

First time back out on the water in over 6 weeks! Was out collecting water samples as part of JCU TropWater and Reef Catchments water quality monitoring program. We collected samples from both the Tongue Bay and Hook Passage sites.

As well as collecting samples, we saw 4 pods of dolphins and a surprise baby Humpback! Thanks so much to all the crew at Tall Ship Adventures and Red Cat Adventures for a great day out!

Coral Bleaching has many facts and myths surrounding it. Here is Dr Dave to explain more..

During these tough times Ive been looking through all the good times and adventures I've had recently. Most recently, on the trip down the coast on the Derwent Hunter where we had many dolphin encounters. Dolphins have been a favourite of mine (sorry MRGs! ;) ) since I was a kid. During our trip we encountered some glow in the dark dolphins too. They were swimming through fluorescent algae which made it glow around the outside of their bodies. Unfortunately, my camera wasnt good enough to pick it up in the dark but I will never forget it. Anyways, heres a video on some of the dolphins I did manage to see on the way down south as well as in the Whitsundays

Sharks can sometimes get a bad reputation but not all sharks deserve it. They are a vital part of the ecosystem. These little guys live on the coral reefs around the Whitsundays and across the Great Barrier Reef. I think sharks are pretty awesome!

After a couple weeks on the Gold Coast, doing some maintenance, getting some stores, avoiding cyclones (and having a little fun 😜) we are leaving with the Derwent Hunter on the way to Hobart. Bring on the next leg of the journey!

Sailing is a passion of ours at TallShip Adventures. Not only does it provide an almost silent way to travel, but it is also Eco-Friendly needing less fuel per day than power boats.

Glass out days in the Whitsundays!

The holes and crevices that the coral structure provides is home to countless animals and organisms. One of the biggest may be the Giant Moray Eel. You may spot one of their heads from the coral formations or you may be lucky enough to see them free swimming.

Turtles are awesome. They have many different characteristics between species but the most common type we see in the Whitsundays are the green turtles.

A few weeks ago I was involved with some filming with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. This is the result. I've been working on the Great Barrier Reef for roughly 6 years but been in love with it for decades. See the reef, love the reef, protect the reef

This week I'm talking about Eagle Rays. Some passengers and I recently spotted one at our snorkel location quite near the beach in a sandy lagoon area. Maybe it was feeding? or maybe it was just hanging out.

Learn all about them in my latest video. Thanks for watching :)
