Deep, Dark and Dirty: Stories of a WA Police Diver
Past Event

Deep, Dark and Dirty—these three words perfectly capture the gripping reality of life as a Police Diver in Western Australia.
Join author and former diver Luke “Macca” McCulloch as he shares his powerful memoir Tales of a Diver – Obsurus Profundus Sordidus, offering a rare glimpse into the high-stakes world of underwater policing.
Follow Luke and the WA Water Police Dive Squad across a 10-day stretch of intense operations—from Perth to Geraldton, Esperance and Denmark—where they search for missing persons, recover critical evidence, and even encounter Great Whites. This talk explores the physical demands, emotional toll, and camaraderie forged in the depths.
Expect raw honesty, thrilling stories, and heartfelt reflections on the impact of service on mental health and family life.
Whether you're fascinated by law enforcement, diving, or human resilience, this event promises to leave a lasting impression.
Copies of Tales of a Diver will be available for purchase.
