Speaker:
Richard Nicholls [Australia] PADI Course Director, Dive Store Owner, Former Equipment Wholesaler and Underwater Photographer

Dive store owner, former equipment wholesaler, and Underwater videographer,  Australian- based, Richard Nicholls is a PADI Course Director, and one of the handfuls of pioneers who helped popularise the recreational use of Nitrox, SCR’s, and Technical Mixed gas diving in Australia in the early ’90s. An active proponent of the need for increased marine protection, he was a key driver in establishing Cabbage Tree Bay, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, as a No-Take Aquatic Reserve, a place described by both locals and visitors alike as being one of the world’s premier shore-diving sites.
