Lee Vella (Leeroy) In 2014, at the age of 47 I fulfilled my dream of becoming a divemaster. I had big plans to work as a divemaster, but the lure of different dive destinations has me working an office job as an IT consultant so I can simply pay and travel the world to dive the most exotic places on our planet. Based on the Gold Coast, I've been diving with a lot of the dive companies from Byron Bay to Hervey Bay, as well as couple that do liveaboards on the Great Barrier Reef. Check out my YouTube Channel for some vids of those trips. SSI Dive Control Specialist (Assistant Instructor)

Scuba diving (as a New Year’s Resolution) coalesces the most common resolutions made each year. But even divers have their own NY resolutions; they can get bored, especially if they’ve been diving the same spots over and over again. A new year calls for adding some new and unique destinations onto your scuba bucket list.
Every year, between June and September, hundreds of whale sharks can be found in the deep waters northeast of Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
Diving in the Cayman Islands is among the best in the world! Living here, you sometimes take the excellent conditions for granted: excellent wall diving, superb shore exploration, visibility that can reach 30 meters/100 feet, colorful reefs, and a dive infrastructure that will take all stress away.
Swimming with stingrays in the wild, up for a wing massage, Grand cayman is the place to visit!
What to expect when boarding for a trip to Raja Ampat, 'The realm of the Four Kings'. Nowhere in the world will you find the biodiversity found here underwater, but sometimes the plankton-rich areas are challenging dives. A bit of preparation before you leave can help you make this a dream destination!
Before going on a shark adventure, there are some things you need to know to make it a great experience for you and the sharks!
From unexpected encounters with great hammerheads to peacefully swimming next to the gentle giants that are whale sharks, the Caribbean Sea has many experiences for shark-loving divers.
Whale sharks are becoming increasingly popular nowadays. Their gentle nature and incredible size make them a beacon for tourism; however, these creatures are relatively unknown. It is easy to be frightened when the largest fish - and shark - in the ocean comes idling by, but these animals are only interested in the finer things in life.
Sharks are ancient creatures that have swam Earth's oceans for over 420 million years, long before any creeping creature crawled onto dry land. Many shark species are top predators vital to the health of the oceanic food chain. Fear of sharks has infected the human mind and shark populations have taken a hard hit in the last several decades. Overfishing, exploitation and ignorance are tipping the problem into a serious worldwide ecological disaster.
