Tas has been working as an Instructor for the past 7 years for PRO DIVE on Lord Howe Island before deciding to purchase it. Tas grew up on the Northern beaches of Sydney and spent a lot of his childhood traveling to and from the island to visit his grandparents and extended family. During his earlier years on the island Tas was always known to be in the water snorkeling or off to Blinky beach for a surf. Tas had always dreamed of retuning to the island to run his own scuba store. After returning in 2000 Tas worked hard to make this happen. Tas has a very strong passion in searching for new species of marine life and identifying the 100's of species of Nudibranchs on Lord Howe Island.
