One of the original founding fathers' of the Axemen Spearfishing Club. I interviewed him recently at a glitzy inner city cafe', Cafe Del Mar music in the background as we discussed dive philosopy.

"We really wanted to get each other more motivated to dive, and get out more, so we thought what better way that to constantly harass each other, take the piss out of each other, gloat when we do well, and generally mock or highlight poor performance. We figured that if we really got on each other's nerves then we would probably get motivated more to go diving and prove that we were truly better than everyone else in the world of spearfishing... I think when we landed our first Parrot fish we knew we were on the way"

So you think the Axemen is the best spearfishing club in the world? I asked him... "well, of course, we don't meet regularly, our Club Captain missed the first meeting infact. You should see the champion fish that we have missed, but don't ask me about that, I landed a world record snapper in 06, just ... (he is cutting up now in front of me) ... the prick got off the spear"...

We had to cut the interview short, he ended up crying in his trim decaf late'
