My Passion for exploring beyond The Great Barrier Reef in the 1970’s but first let me tell a bit about myself.
I was born in Sydney in 1959. My love of the ocean started at an early age. After my first SCUBA dive at age ten, my future was set. I completed a SCUBA course in 1974. A trade course as a motor mechanic has assisted me through my boating career. I Started Bianca Charters & built up a small fleet of dive and fish charter vessels in Sydney and eventually expanded operations in Port Douglas, where I now reside. After selling off the Sydney charter vessels, I purchased a long range cruiser to explore the Coral Sea. The Phoenix was a perfect fit, her 3,000 mile long range fuel tanks, watermakers, and comfortable accommodation now meant I was set to explore. I have not added up how many weeks, months or years I have spent in the Coral Sea but suffice it to say a lot.
As I have not completed my exploration of the Coral Sea, I will be seen heading out again soon. I hope I see you there.
