My last job was working as a deckhand on ‘The Great Escape’ a large luxury boat that plied the waters between Broome and Wyndham in the north west of Western Australia. I completed my Restricted Coxswain Ticket and was able to skipper a tender with groups of tourists. I also recently completed my Open Water Dive ticket and accompanied tourists on dives at the Rowley Shoals.
