Our Team

The team at Jetty Dive is made up of a passionate and fun loving group of Divers – Instructors, Coxswains and Divemasters. 

Scroll down to see some Staff Profiles.

With a wealth of dive experience from around the world, we strive to provide a level of comfort, enjoyment and service that is second to none. But don’t forget to bring a smile and sense of humour!
And where would we be without those all important pool of part-time and weekend staff who are there to guarantee YOU make the most of your dive experience with us.

In addition, our staff are supported by our Divemaster Interns (DITs as we like to call them). Currently, our DITs include Andy, Neil, Chris J, Matt, Nathan, Tom and John.

Jack of all trades Mike Davey

Before moving to Coffs in 1996, Mike owned a Dive Charter business in Kingston, South Australia. So passionate about the sport, he even purchased, planned, and sank his own wreck, to create an artificial reef just off the coast.
A committed member of Coffs Coast community, Mike has enjoyed introducing the “other 70% of the planet” to 1000’s of divers during his career. Mike is passionate about the endangered Grey Nurse Shark, his Tech diving and now trying his hand at Videography.

Diver Deb Davey aka “The Boss”

The crew all love Deb (and it’s not just because she pays our wages!). Deb is our diving fashion icon – that is assuming purple is fashion – when not busy making all those behind the scenes things happen which keep the Dive Centre humming along, or helping you with your selections from the shop, she does manage to still get the odd dive in at the islands. Oh, and she is also responsible for the all important Catering on the boat – just yet another reason she is so popular!

Advanced Diver, Financial Controller, and queen of all things purple in diving, co-owner.



Vixen Vicky Temple aka “The Pool Professional”

Vicky, defected from the UK in 2004 and has earned the title ‘the pool professional’ as she spends more time there than any of our other instructors. She just can’t seem to get enough of it. When not in the pool, or out diving at the islands with students, she can be found either hard at work in the service bay, keeping our rental department equipment in tip top shape, or tapping away on her shiny new laptop in the office, producing another of her now ‘world famous’ newsletters.

Scuba Instructor, Certified Service Technician and DAN Instructor.



Salubrious Steve Skinner aka “Golden Boy”

Steve first joined the Jetty Dive Team in the 90’s, then following a break away working in the Whitsunday Islands, and Lord Howe Island, he returned, to Coffs in 2007. Having been raised in the area, he knows every inch of the Solitary Islands.

Curious George Jesset aka "Betty Blueberry"

Berry Farm manager by day, Tech Diver by Night (well weekend anyway). George and his partner the lovely Bella, also a Divemaster, can be found guiding groups around the magnificent solitary islands. George has now progressed to Instructor Level, silly fella! Has a keen interest in Tech diving, and searching for somewhere new, Loves the adventure dives!
