Home / Divemasters / Dive Team Profile : Leigh Bucksey
Leigh did his first Discover Scuba Dive in Fiji about 3 years ago and got hooked immediately. So hooked in fact that he did the Discover Scuba twice!
Within a couple of weeks, I had signed up for my Open Water course and none other than Andrew (in a previous workplace) set me up with my first gear purchases. And he hasnt stopped since.
Tara and I did our Advanced Open Water together out at the Poor Knights – and yes, this is when I threw up on Anna underwater and earned the dive name of Squidleigh.
Once we had completed our Advanced, we went pretty much in the Rescue Diver course and yup … training training training.I have completed four PADI specialties and am working towards another two.
I started my Divemaster course through Global Dive – years ago! – and have been chipping away at it when I can fit some diving in.
I am now working at Global Dive full time as a Service technician and even though I wouldnt say it, the reorganisation of the Service Area was pretty much my doing (and Tara wrote that).
Aside from diving, I enjoy Photography, Skiing and racing cars. I have been placed 3rd in North Island Mini Sevens.
