23.01.2022 A Harlequin Shrimp (Hymenocera picta) defends its lunch - a chunk off an unfortunate starfish - from a White Eyed Moray Eel (Gymnothorax thyrsoideus) who rather opportunistically tries to steal it. An incredible marine encounter to witness!! #harlequinshrimp #morayeel #stopthief #uwphotography #macrophotography #scubadiving #underwater #marinelife #wildlife #wildlifephotography #philippines #dumaguete #atmosphereresorts #aquaticadventuresrowville #aquaholicsmelbourne #opaynediving

22.01.2022 I have a few spaces left for my online Trimix Gas Blender and Inspect & Fill course taking place next Tuesday and Thursday evenings - any takers? This is a great opportunity to gain some useful new skills that are particularly relevant for those who want to work in the Scuba Diving industry, and those keen to do their own fills at home. You get 2 qualifications for the price of 1 - the internationally recognised PADI certification and the Australian Nationally Recognised qual...ification needed for insurance purposes. I’m teaching the course via a custom online platform I have built so you get great interaction and can complete your exam etc online as well. Message me for more details

20.01.2022 The store email is currently down. While we wait for it to be repaired please find details of an alternative address you can contact us on below. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

20.01.2022 Introducing the new range of T-Shirts & Hoodies that i've been designing, now available on the new Aquatic Adventures Teespring Store. What designs would you like to see on a Scuba/Marine-inspired T-Shirt? https://teespring.com/stores/aquatic-adventures

18.01.2022 I have been asked to run an Instructor Development Course, starting at the end of this month. If you are thinking of becoming a PADI Instructor, then Melbourne is one of the best places in the world to learn. If you can teach here, you can teach anywhere and everywhere with ease and skill! So why not join me and do your IDC?! If would like more details, drop me a line and I can send you all the info. (Photo from my last IDC - 4/4 successful candidates, and all now excellent instructors!)

18.01.2022 Blast from the past! Back when Academy of Scuba still existed and I had this awesome group of Divemasters-in-training. All 3 went on to become great Instructors and I’m privileged to still work with 2 of them (Josh and Darrell) at Aquatic Adventures Rowville. ... Pete you are sorely missed my friend, hope you’re having some awesome dives in the cave system in the sky!!

12.01.2022 Well done guys - super proud of all of you for the amazing effort you put in throughout your IDC and the IE. You’re going to be incredible Instructors and I’m really looking forward to working with all of you in the Victorian Scuba Industry! Exciting times ahead....! The 100% pass rate continues!!

12.01.2022 Get involved people!

11.01.2022 First of what will hopefully become a new club tradition - Christmas-in-July Social night. Join us for some mid-year festive cheer on Friday 12th July for fun and frivolity galore!

11.01.2022 Winter diving in Melbourne is the best diving! More critters, less people to share them with, and some of the best visibility conditions of the year. Only downside?.....the cold! Well fear no more - come down to Aquatic Adventures tomorrow for the Dry Suit info night and learn all about how to stay warm and comfortable on your winter dives!

10.01.2022 Consistency is key when it comes to being a good PADI Instructor. Though I always feel a little miffed with myself when I miss the next rank up by only a few certifications, it is nice to be part of an agency who acknowledge the hard work we do every year! Fingers crossed the current situation resolves sooner rather than later - I have a load of students raring to get back in the water and I’ve got to get a jump on next year’s award

10.01.2022 Grab yourself a bargain guys - you’ll never find Scubapro equipment this cheap again!

10.01.2022 Tec Diving in Melbourne is world class! Get down here and explore some of the best temperate water diving on the planet - I can teach you how!

09.01.2022 I’m running the first of the new IDC programs this summer. It’ll be the evenings and weekends schedule, so it can fit around your life, and will now have even more extras to make you the best possible scuba instructor and to land you that dream job. Get in touch for more info!

09.01.2022 Great time teaching the start of a Divemaster course today alongside Christie Payne Diving - all the candidates did a great job and I’m certain they’re going to be a really fun group to teach! Looking forward to the next session already

05.01.2022 Scuba Diving is one of the most relaxing, yet fulfilling family activities you can do. It teaches you responsibility, care for others, self reliance and a host of other life skills, but at the same time is fun! We’re running a course exclusively for kids aged 12+ to teach them to dive, so if you’ve been looking for something new to spark their interest, or you want them to learn so they can join you on your diving adventures then give us a call for more information! #aquaticadventuresrowville #scuba #notjustforadults

05.01.2022 Another awesome marine creature is given the True Facts treatment

01.01.2022 My next IDC is scheduled to start on 15th July 2020. This one will include some remote teaching, to embrace the new socially-distanced norm, as well as new workshops I’ve developed to cover how Covid has changed the dive industry. As per usual the schedule is designed to allow for busy lives and to give you adequate time to become the best OWSI you can.... If you’re thinking of upskilling and becoming a PADI Instructor then call me in-store at Aquatic Adventures Rowville for more details
