The Scuba Gym Australia was born out of a desire to enable lasting change for people with special needs or disabilities. After watching the video below, I knew I had to create a Scuba Gym in Australia and so partnered with David to make it happen.

You know when you know its time for a change and you put it out “there” and a door swings open? Well that's what happened. I was at a cross roads and having spent much of my working life as a corporate trainer for the biggest of bluechips and also teaching kids “accelerated learning” skills, I wanted to change lives in a way that was physical.

So often in personal development courses of which I taught an intensive Leadership program that was 3 days long and pushed me as a trainer to broaden my comfort zone even more, I found that the skills taught and the high of the course lasted for some time for a lot of people. Others were blown away forever and some didnt change much at all.

How is that possible and what can I do to help those who want to help themselves and will step out of their comfort zone to do so - and then the Scuba Gym video appeared on my social media feed and the rest is history. Here we are having gone through the weirdest and hardest 2.5 years with closures and lock downs, just as we got results so the pools shut and my clients all went backwards. All that hard work , the small improvements to us able bodied folk were massive changes for many of my divers /clients.

I know that my life has been full of incredible learnings and experiences that have prepared me for the challenge of taking on this task of bringing The Scuba Gym to Australia and ensuring it a success as David and Kim have done in Florida. Their guidance and generosity is incredible and to continue their work here in Australia is the best gift I can give them in thanks for helping me to find my purpose.
