Captain: Edward Ruyssenaers, Australian
Eddie grew up on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. He has travelled all over Australia and has experienced outback life, enjoying hunting and gem mining.

Eddie also managed The Underwater Observatory of Middle Island for 4 years where he acquired extensive knowledge of marine biology.

Eddie has travelled the world and has dived the best sites of the globe before finally basing himself back on the Gold Coast and beginning a successful career as a Captain on luxury motor yachts.
