Kirsten, aka ‘Shep’, was a qualified forensic psychologist before she realised where her true passion lay. She has a serious love of the ocean, and has been diving for 20 years around the world. In the water Kirsten always feels at home and has a great eye for spotting even the smallest, weirdest marine life. She has been instructing scuba diving for many years, is patient, makes learning fun, and loves to pass on her passion for the underwater world to others.

Originally from the UK, Kat instantly fell in love with Exmouth and decided to make it home! Kat is a very experienced dive instructor, tech diver, and service technician so you are in good hands with her. She has a super easy-going attitude and great eye for spotting marine life. Kat teaches most of our courses so if you are learning to dive, or furthering your education you will learn a lot from her.

Charles is a world renowned coral reef ecologist and has dived on reefs around the world, but still the Ningaloo Reef is one of his favourite places to dive!

Dave has lived and skippered in the Ningaloo for over 25 years. He is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable both on the water and in marine tourism.
A love for photography has taken him around the world, but he found that the Ningaloo has it all. Wide angle photography as there is plenty of big stuff and a macro photography paradise on the reef. Always looking for that perfect shot, Dave can take you to some of the best spots on the Ningaloo to get your own!

Cheryl, aka ‘Mum’. Is one of our longest running dive masters with Dive Ningaloo and mum of two (and sometimes the whole DN team!).
She will make sure you are well looked after during your tour, and have plenty of laughs at the same time. Cheryl is very attentive and caring and will go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your time with us.

Anne is a research fellow and has extensive knowledge in marine conservation and research. She is a passionate conservationist and marine science teacher. Her skills to advise on how to avoid potentially harmful intensive diving on marine habitats allows Dive Ningaloo to use strategies to continue ‘sustainable’ diving practices.

Lou will most likely be the person you speak to when you contact us. She is very friendly and easy going and will greet you with a smile when you arrive! Lou is an Exmouth local and has been working in tourism for several years, so knows everything about this awesome town. Feel free to pop into our dive shop for a chat as she can also give you information on the area. On her days off you will find her out at the surfers beach catching some waves or camping in the national park!

Joe is a true local- born and raised in Exmouth he knows the reef like the back of his hand! Before becoming a skipper he is also a trained chef, and will be cooking your BBQ lunch onboard our boat as well as driving you to the best dive sites.
