We bounce across the sea in the new morning, looking back to where suburban Melbourne unfolds the Sunday morning paper and reaches for another croissant. We’re heading for history in the shape of a sunken ship, and I’m heading for a meeting with my father ...
From looking at sites offering some points of history in regard to diving in Australia, I found nothing in relation to what was once the highest volume retailer of SCUBA equipment and dive accessories in the Southern Hemisphere, circa 1960's.
I have now been scuba diving for over 25 years and have a pretty good training record:
- 1980 Open water Diver
- 1990 Advanced Open Water Diver
- 2004 Rescue Diver
by this plan I should be an Instructor just under my 90th birthday.
