BB,
I have never heard him called that , however it would be him as he had an incredible rep as a diver. He told me there were only 2 things in the sea that worried him, one was hammerheads and the other gropers. He would complain that his hired divers would not dive if there were tiger sharks around.
He had been hit twice very heavily by gropers while swimming along the faces of reefs. They had come out of there hiding
places and charged him, leaving him very banged up and seeing stars.
Girl dropped her bag off the refueling wharf in
Weipa, if I can remember rightly we had been partying all night on a trawler, one of the NR boats or the Zane
Grey, so Gary just dives straight into the Embley River and goes and finds the bag.
Heard a couple of years back that he was still up there and that a big
young bloke had had taken him on, word was he cleaned up the
young bloke big time.
Have a good one.
