Meet the crew 🤙🏼 Glen is one of the incredible spearfishing enthusiasts you might bump into at @tackleworldtownsville! He's an experienced diver who embarked on his spearfishing journey close to ten years ago in Sydney. Since then, he has explored the stunning waters along the east coast of Australia, diving in various locations throughout his travels. In early 2020, he made the move to Townsville to pursue his passion for Marine Biology at JCU.
His favourite types of spearing adventures include wreck diving for big Barra and taking on the thrilling challenge of wrestling Doggies past through sharks on the shelf. When the weather keeps him out of the water, you'll find him meticulously disassembling spearguns and fine-tuning their mechanisms for his next trip.
If you're looking for tips, advice, or a chat about all things spearfishing, come and have a chat with Glen at Tackle World Townsville.

Imagine this being part of your daily commute! Mar

Imagine this being part of your daily commute! Maritime pilots know local details such as depth, currents, and hazards. They board and temporarily join a ship’s crew to safely guide the ship’s passage, so they must also have expertise in handling ships of all types and sizes. But they also have to get on and off the ship often while it’s underway via a helicopter or pilot boat!

@sailor_davis thanks for capturing this pilot boat pickup while the ship is underway!
