MARK MILLER
Mark began his diving career in New Zealand many many years ago (yes he’s a Kiwi), but seems to prefer the warmer topical waters as the years pass by. A Master Instructor & Instructor Trainer, with ratings with PADI, DSAT Tec Rec, DAN, EFR and IANTD, he is popular with the airlines, spending as nearly as much time in the air and he spend underwater. Looking for dive travel advice, or the ultimate dive site – Mark’s your man.
CEO of an Arts & Entertainment Group of companies for 15 years, he stepped away in 2003 turning his focus back to the other great passion in his life scuba diving – firstly spending 10 months circumnavigating the coast of Australia, exploring dive sites on a daily basis – before jetting off on a two year long world dive tour. Since then his full time involvement in the Dive Industry has taken him from Cape Town to Cuba, Malta to Mexico, the Great Lakes to the Bahamas, whether it be Sea, Lake, Wreck, Cave, Reef or Wall, Mark enjoys them all.

BRUCE WYNN
Bruce has been with Tech Dive Academy since the beginning in 2003. He passionately shares the Tech Dive philosophy that safety and personal attention to the student come first. Bruce was one of the three first formally qualified diving instructors in Western Australia - almost forty years ago.
Bruce's awards include Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Meritorious Service Awardee and the prestidious Duke of Edinburgh's Award Gold Medal Awardee.
Bruce's diving experience extends over a period of more than forty years and began in Fremantle under the instruction of a retired Royal Australian Navy clearance diver. He won the right to represent the State in National Scuba Diving competitions when he was just seventeen years of age. Recreational diving, instruction and an interest in underwater photography have since taken him to many parts of Australia, the Pacific region, Indonesia, New Guinea, North America and the Philippines.
His ongoing involvement in the dive industry is driven by a pursuit to share the underwater world with others and the world wide network of friendships that this has provided.
In his "corporate life" prior to settling in Port Douglas, Bruce held various management roles around Australia; including CEO of the Australian Veterinary Association and the Royal Agricultural Society. He is a former Vice Commodore of the Port Douglas Yacht Club, maintains a keen interest in recreational boating, operates his own powerboat and has sailed competitively for thirty years.

ROSS ANDERSON
Ross is a 28 year old South African with a passion for the ocean and waterways as deep as life itself, we lured him away from the caves of Mexico to the charms of Port Douglas. Ross learned to dive at the age of 11 and have spent the subsequent years acquiring knowledge, training and experience until finally reaching instructor status.

My spirit is rekindled through continuous education and by sharing my experiences and knowledge with others, be they professionals or novices. My training has taken me many and diverse parts of our world introducing me to various diving locations and ways of life, all of which have contributed towards making my chosen career so remarkable.”
