A DIVER FIRST
I’m Steve.
Diving keeps me curious. I’m based in Northland, New Zealand, where the Canterbury wreck and the Bay of Islands are my regular underwater playground. Further afield, the caves of South Australia keep drawing me back.
I share that world through Speaking Sidemount, my videos and my books—and occasionally help other divers find their feet through sidemount courses and workshops.
