I am a family man and passionate about the conservation of our ocean planet both above and below the surface. If you ask me what I love most about diving I would say sharing my thirst for diving and having fun.

Dive experience

Tony Cook PADI course director assessing with slate

Teaching my eldest son to dive – as a mini me, you can imagine the fun we had - best dive buddy forever.

Wreck diving.  Some of my favorite wrecks have been off the coast of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea & diving “the Rubis” submarine wreck located around Cap Camarat near Saint Tropez, South of France.

As I live on the Central Coast of NSW – I have the wreck of the ex-HMAS Adelaide just 20 minutes from home - how good is that!

Shark diving on two-mile reef on Sodwana bay and Aliwal Shoal off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa – here I experienced my first shark sightings, what can I say but wow!!

Tony Cook PADI course director / instructor assessing rescue divers

Learning to SUP – had a few lessons recently & can`t wait to purchase a board and go solo, Umina Beach is a perfect place to paddle.

I would like to become a rebreather diver – aim to start my CCR training soon, always been on my bucket list.

Telling dad jokes – current ones my kids are rolling their eyes at are, “What board would you take to the party”, “A boogie board” & “Why do seagulls fly over the ocean?”, Because if they flew over the bay, we`d call them bagels”.

Tony loves writing too
