Frog Dive Staff BOB TAYLOR I was born a long time ago.....I spent 12 years in the army before opening Frog Dive in Merrylands in 1982. I made the mistake of employing Luke and Dennis and they are still here. Been a PADI Instructor since 1980, although I have not actively taught in the last few years. Like all of the guys, I have had the opportunity of diving around the world in some really fabulous locations. Favourite has to be New Guinea, all of it (except when I got malaria). I now work behind the scenes in Frog Dive supporting the boys, but I am also busy as a work place trainer providing confined space and height safety training to industry through a business called Sydney Safety Training. LUKE DOWNIE I was born in 1967 and began working for Frog Dive in August 1986. If you do the maths, that is over 20 years! Is that a good or bad thing? My wife, Carolyn , and I, have 3 beautiful girls of which the first born were twins. I love the water and everything that you can do on it and in it. Diving, spearfishing, fishing, boating are passions, and I also enjoy baseball, golf, snowboarding and my family. I have dived extensively overseas including many trips to the Solomons, New Guinea, Vanuatu, Tahiti, Fiji and haved also been to Heron Island, Lady Elliot and many of the reefs in the Capricorn Bunker group. My favourite site would be the Coral Sea, where I have visited over 10 occasions. I love my work, and I also love the personal interaction with our customers. DENNIS MCHUGH Manager of Frog Dive Willoughby - Dennis first joined Frog Dive in 1987, worked in scuba wholesale during 93/94 before returning to manage Frog Dive Willoughby. Dennis is quite a personality within Frog Dive, and has earned a reputation as a very knowledgeable and competent diving retailer. Dennis is also an active NAUI Divemaster, Nitrox Diver, Extended Range Diver, Life Support Technician and TDI Gas Blender. JOHN WARNER John is the Assistant Manager & Service Technician at Frog Dive Willoughby. He started in that position in 1994, travelled overseas during 1998/1999 and now is back. John is a NAUI Master Instructor, a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer with 18 specialties and a TDI Nitrox, Adv Eanx, Advanced Deep Wreck & Blending Technician. John started diving through Frog Dive in 1989, became an instructor in 1993 and has now logged over 2000 dives all over the world. His favourite programmes to teach are Open Water and Deep/Wreck. John works in the store Monday through Friday, and is always teaching over the weekends. GRAHAME SELLECK I arrived in this world in 1961 with a thud. I became a divemaster in 1988 and began instructing for Frog Dive in 1991. I was lured into working fulltime for Frog Dive in 1997 with the promise of an extravagant lifestyle. Ha! I love my family of 5, and getting away to my farm down in Nimmitabel, where we hunt, fish and enjoy the snow season. Teaching technical dive programs challenges me, and I have achieved instructor trainer status in scuba and technical diving. Travel with Frog Dive has taken me to many diverse locations including many brilliant sites. I have yet to name my favourite, as there are still many to discover. Each year we travel to a different destination, and I try hard to ensure each one is successful.
