In 1974 he completed a scuba diving course, expanding his interest to both sports.\n\nHowever it was a visit to the barrier reef in 1980 and a borrowed Nikonos 11 underwater camera that would spark his interest into underwater photography. The following year he purchased a second hand Nikonos 111 and the learning curve began.\n\nSignificant as the Barrier Reef trip in 1980 was, it was a dive in 1984 to the wreck of the Tuggerah that would steer Max’s interest into maritime history.\n\nIn 1987 he co-authored the book \u003cem\u003eS.S. Yongala Dive to the Past\u003c\/em\u003e. In 1993 he published \u003cem\u003eThe Vanished Fleet of the Sydney Coastline\u003c\/em\u003e, the first of three books on the wrecks of the NSW coast. \u003cem\u003eShipwrecks, Storms and Seamen\u003c\/em\u003e followed in 1996 and \u003cem\u003eDestination Never Reached\u003c\/em\u003e in 2004.\n\n ","brand":"Boat books Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54100061651308,"sku":"P2393","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/1920\/5996\/files\/Destination-never-Reached-1-scaled-e1720143782980.jpg?v=1785287697","url":"https:\/\/www.boatbooks-aust.com.au\/products\/destination-never-reached","provider":"Boat books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
