Craig Challen is a Veterinary Surgeon in Perth by profession but this is only to support his enthusiastic pursuit of technical diving. Beginning diving in 1994 he progressed to cave diving in the late 1990s. Craig was one of the early adopters of closed circuit rebreather technology in Australia.

Here's your  PADI Professional Invitation

Thanks to everyone who trawled North Mole last weekend in search of the lost Datamask. Good news... it has been found, by the person who lost it, so all is good. Big sigh of relief all round.

Our Divemasters were put to the test on Saturday as they completed their skills demonstrations and stamina swims. Very sleepy they were after it all. Well done Scott for becoming a PADI Divemaster

We had lovely dives at the North and South Moles on Sunday. The North Molers were buzzed by quite a large sealion, whilst the South Molers saw an excellent specimen of a Weedy Seadragon. Perth is having a great time it at the moment, the weather is perfect for scuba diving, long may it continue.

Callum and his Trimix divers had a successful 78m dive down in Albany. The dive plan was well excuted, the bottom was very sandy, the current was very strong and Karen got bitten by a leatherjacket!
