#050 - Les Graham | EX HMAS Adelaide | Underwater Research Group | Australian Museum


Listen Later

Les Graham is not just living proof that a lifetime of dedication can make a difference to the environment but also to people. He started his SCUBA diving in 1958. He could not afford to buy a regulator on an apprentice wage so decided to build one himself.


Les came from England with his wife Fran as 10 Pound Poms and became dedicated SCUBA divers. In 1968 together they opened a dive centre at Terrigal Haven in New South Wales. Les and Fran were active divers and citizen scientists on the Great Barrier Reef and locally for the Australian Museum. He is responsible for positioning the anchor at Terrigal Haven and highly influential in the scuttling of the EX HMAS Adelaide.
