WRECKED IN VANUATU
ABOUT ME
I began scuba diving in January 2012 at the age of 48 and have logged 130 dives. I am a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and also have a Computer Nitrox Diver certification with SDI. I dive regularly in Sydney and sometimes go away for diving weekends involving repetitive dives, generally to around 30 metres. I have also been on a few overseas diving holidays, including some four- to five-day liveaboards. When on liveaboards, I usually dive four dives per day to a maximum depth for each dive of between 20–35m. I generally dive with a nitrox mix of 32–35% oxygen. I am a conservative diver with good air consumption and generally undertake fairly long safety stops.
I am in good overall health although I infrequently suffer from migraines, with aura (distorted vision).
Ever since I started diving, I have always had DAN AP cover. Although I never expected I would need to call DAN for help, or make a claim, I liked the idea of having specialist dive insurance and an authority who could answer diving medical questions.
