Jess Hill - Marine Biologist

Meet Jess, a passionate diver and marine biology graduate who has embarked on a journey to deepen her connection with the underwater world. Originally from the UK but with roots in Australia, Jess's fascination with diving began during a backpacking adventure Down Under in 2019. Jess then pursued her interest in marine biology, earning her bachelor’s degree in 2023 from Bangor University in Wales, UK. Her academic journey equipped her with a solid foundation in marine ecosystems, conservation principles, and field research techniques. She hopes to further her education eventually, but for now, she wants to enjoy life in the ocean!

Following her degree, Jess was eager to combine her academic knowledge with practical experience in diving. In January 2024, she returned to Australia to join our team as a divemaster intern, motivated to enhance her diving skills and contribute to marine conservation efforts firsthand. Since then, she has now become a part of the full-time team and will be doing her.
IDC and scientific diver certifications in the upcoming months to further her experience and qualifications.

Looking forward, Jess is enthusiastic about leveraging her skills and knowledge to support marine biodiversity conservation and sustainable diving practices. She envisions a career where she can actively contribute to preserving our oceans while sharing her passion for diving with others. She will be running an ever-changing set of marine creature-orientated dives aiming to expand people's general knowledge and understanding of the beautiful marine life we’re very lucky to have in Sydney!
