Paddy is also a Dive Instructor and an Educationalist. His knowledge, passion and respect for Australia's Great Barrier Reef is enormous and through teachings he has been able to share his love and knowledge with many Australian and international tourists visiting the Great Barrier Reef.
The lecture called "Introduction to the Great Barrier Reef" is held at Paddy's school, and is an enhancement to any visitor to the reef and is recommended by most dive companies. Some companies include it as part of their own diving courses and trips, which is an excellent idea, however Reef Teach is open to the public, Monday to Saturday and classes commence on regular basis.
