About Me
- Neil McLennan
- About the author... I became a complete T8 paraplegic in 1979 as the result of a motor vehicle accident. I started diving with my brother when we were both at university in 1985. Sydney is blessed with great diving and we spent years diving around Sydney, the caves in Mt Gambier, the Great Barrier Reef, Lord Howe Island, Fiji, Bass Strait, California and New Mexico. In 1995 I took my 10 metre sloop Moonpenny from Sydney to the Solomon Islands where I spent 3 months enjoying fabulous diving with my wife Katharine and Anthony Michaels. In 1987 Alan and I went looking for shipwrecks around Sydney. We found the SS Duckenfield in 24 metres north of Long Reef, for which we received an Historic Shipwrecks Award from the New South Wales Government. At this time we identified and dived the wreck of the light cruiser HMAS Encounter in 70 metres off Bondi. I spent a lot of time in the early nineties diving the SS Catterthun in 62 metres near Seal Rocks NSW with photographer Mark Spencer . That project was funded by Australian Geographic and resulted in the publication of an article in the Australian Geographic Magazine.
