Anthony is a young deckhand who has been with us whilst still at school for a number of years, before starting with us full time neatly 12 months ago.  Anthony works with Rob on board Dolphin Diver assisting his customers to hook that golden snapper of jewfish on our 1/2 Day Fishing Charters.  Full of charisma and fun, Anthony doesn't stop working to give his customers the most enjoyable charter possible.  Anthony is also an avid and skilled fisherman who loved to go fishing on his days off.  Anthony is working his way to gaining his skippers ticket and we hope to have him represent Fish Darwin for many years to come.
