Flying

I am a qualified recreational pilot and got my wings in July 2020. While I have not flown in a while, I have previously flown a Jabiru J170 or Alpi Pioneer light sport aircraft which I usually hire from the flying club I was a member of.

There is something about the freedom of three dimensions and being able to defy gravity. I used to practice regularly with an instructor and have done all sorts of training exercises including countless emergencies and even flying without instruments.

My end goal is to some day complete an aerobatics course and start practicing advanced maneuvers. I have a savings fund going and hope to purchase my own aircraft in the future.

Diving

I am a qualified PADI scuba diver. I have gone diving in the Gili islands in Indonesia and Exmouth in Western Australia. I have been in the water close to Humpback whales, Manta rays, sea lions, sharks and a range of other amazing wildlife.

The underwater world is amazing. One of my most memorable experiences was seeing 2 cuttlefish interacting with each other. With their entire bodies radiating different colours it was an experience I will never forget.
