Warren Howard

Seasoned Free Diving Instructor with over 40 years of experience, including a pivotal role at The Pressure Project, where I enhanced student diving skills and environmental awareness.

Proven track record in fostering collaboration and safety as an Assistant Training Coach at Sunshine Coast Freedivers Club. Expert in marine life identification and CPR certified, demonstrating both hard and soft skills essential for advanced diving instruction.

Passionate about the oceans and everything in it, from tiny nudibranchs to huge whales.

Motivated and passionate to make a difference and change peoples attitudes about our oceans and the need to preserve them.

Spent my life in the sea and have developed a higher awareness for my environment, conditions and inhabitants in my area.

Passing on skills to others who can use the ocean to showcase it's beauty and spread the passion of what lies beneath.

Managed a scuba diving operation in remote Mozambique. Having to find new reefs to dive, organising scuba gear, tank fills, safety, fuel and the operation of the dive boat(early 2000's).

Helped pioneer the feeding and filming of tiger sharks in South Africa with Blue Wilderness, diving with National Geographic, The BBC and various film crews.

Assisting with the first ever 24 hour surveillance(filming) of the grey nurse sharks(ragged tooth sharks) on the Aliwal Shoal in South Africa.

Joining the Sunshine Coast Freedivers Club and becoming a committed, reliable member and assisting the coach and running the training when necessary.

I have always been passionate about the oceans.

I started my journey as a young fisherman, then a snorkeller, spearfisherman and scuba diver.

I have gained over 15 000 hours in the waters around the world, experiencing a wide variety and learning to read the ocean and the conditions.

All this time has left me fulfilled and even more passionate about the sea. But it has also made me realise how delicate the oceans are.

I am trying to show people the sea through my youtube channel Ocean Fundamentals, hoping to gain awareness for everything in it.

My experience and calmness in the water has allowed me to become a natural Free Dive Instructor, passing on my skills and awareness to others.

I hope to develop many students in to competent divers who will use their skills to share their experiences with others and bring small vital changes to help sustain our amazing oceans.
