Luke Tipple has spent the last
three Great
White shark seasons at
Isla Guadalupe as the dive operations manager for
Shark Diver. During this time he distinguished himself as both
knowledgeable about Great Whites and operations. Today he is one of the
primary staff members here at Diving With Sharks. If there's a question
you may have about the operations side of Great White shark diving or
even the day to day excitement of cage diving with the Big Boys, Luke
can assist you.
He grew up in and around the ocean. His first contact
was at
1 month old when his father threw him into the surf and he came
up smiling; there's been no turning back since. Originally from
Adelaide, South Australia, Luke has been a keen surfer and an avid spear
fisherman from the age of four... in fact his first memory is being
given a hand spear, which he still has to this day. His love of the
ocean lead him down the obvious road to study Marine Biology and he
graduated from James Cook University eager to enter the
world of sharks.
Luke first started diving in Townsville on the Great Barrier Reef.
Diving has since taken him on a journey around the world with
assignments as a Dive Officer aboard a Mega-yacht in the Mediterranean,
Trip Director aboard "Adrenalin" diving the world famous "S.S. Yongala"
Shipwreck, and Technical diving deep shipwrecks and reefs on the coast
of Florida and in the Red Sea.
As a Marine biologist Luke worked in
Utila, Honduras, heading up the Whale Shark Division of the Whale Shark
and Oceanic Research Center. Luke is enthusiastic about the ocean and
it’s wildlife and loves to talk about all things pelagic. He is a wealth
of marine knowledge, great dive stories, and is looking forward to
sharing them with you this year!

Diving With Sharks
is excited to offer 5-day expeditions to Isla Guadalupe to view this
pristine and untouched site. In less than 4 years this remarkable dive
site has grown to be a major destination. It has now well established
that Great Whites have a large and valuable presence in Pacific waters,
with three known areas where Great Whites congregate year after year and
are able to be viewed with relative ease by interested divers and non
divers alike.
Call us today.
The ultimate dive adventure is a lot closer than you
think!
