Assistant Instructor

Hello, my name’s Tiffany :] I started my new life in Australia at the start of 07 when i turned 17. I was on a mission to live life to the full and try all things new…I got round to doing my open water course in Nov 08. When we were in the pool I panicked and didn’t think I was going to complete the course. But the second my face when under the surface on my 1st open water dive – I fell in love. My heart was racing so fast and my eyes must have been the size of dinner plates! Going down and seeing the amazing things you see in the underwater world is beyond what i could have ever imagined! That feeling hasn’t changed! My heart still races from when i start kitting up to when I’m driving home after the dive! I now want to help as many people as i can experience the life that I’m living, the beautiful things us divers see and the special courageous people you meet along the way!

Best Ever Dive: Ive only dived in Perth so far – so everything over at Rotto is amazing (if its not surgy) Crystal palace when I dropped down and looked under a ledge and saw a huge Turtle staring at me was pretty amazing. And Ammunitions jetty when the seal popped his head around the corner and scared us both was pretty cool too!

Worst Ever Dive: Hmm cant say i have experienced a really bad dive…there’s been some when they’re not ‘the best’…but if I’m in the water I’m happy :]

Favourite piece of dive equipment: All of it! It keeps me doing what I love and keeps me alive while I’m doing it!

Best thing I have found while diving: I try and collect something from many of the dives I do – I have a collection of stuff ranging from small shells to quite large colourful ones, to dive knifes, beer glasses and a fishing rod. The best thing would have to be the skateboard i found and give it to my little sister at Christmas!

Why I love diving: I love the feeling of being under there experiencing something that many people wouldn’t even think about doing, something that a lot of people wont ever get the chance to do! Makes me realise just how precious and beautiful life is.
