Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello. My name is Luke. I operate a scuba-diving charter business in Melbourne. I have my business run under management from May until October which is our low season.
I’m wanting to buy myself a catamaran next year and go on an extended trip I would like to build on my sailing experience between now and then. I have a wide range of skills, I’m eager to learn more, and have a very good work ethic. Please give me a call to have a chat about whatever you have. Can provide references.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I started a dive charter business in 2015 and had driven dive boats for years before that. In 2015 I quit my commercial aviation career and started that dive business. Since then the business has taken 60,000 people scuba-diving and sightseeing on one of the most treacherous areas of water in the world being Port Phillip heads. We were involved in the filming of BBC blue planet 2, and are currently undertaking support for filming a National Geographic documentary which will be shown on Discovery Channel in 2024.
I have very good vessel experience, never get seasick, and I must be a good teacher as I was asked to teach Eric Bana how to drive a boat for a movie.:(
I have good organisational skills, and can make stuff happen. I organised a successful Guinness world record attempt for the longest chain of scuba-dive in 2017.
