Jess Hill – Marine Biologist

Meet Jess, a passionate diver and marine biology graduate who has embarked on a journey to deepen her connection with the underwater world. Originally from the UK but with roots in Australia, Jess’s fascination with diving began during a backpacking adventure Down Under in 2019. She pursued her interest in marine biology and earned her bachelor’s degree in 2023 from Bangor University in Wales, UK. Her academic journey equipped her with a solid foundation in marine ecosystems, conservation principles, and field research techniques.

Following her degree, Jess was eager to combine her academic knowledge with practical diving experience. In January 2024, she returned to Australia to join Abyss Scuba Diving as a Divemaster Intern, aiming to enhance her diving skills and contribute to marine conservation. Since then, she has become part of the full-time team and is preparing for her IDC and scientific diver certifications to further expand her qualifications.

Jess is enthusiastic about leveraging her skills to support marine biodiversity conservation and promote sustainable diving practices. She runs an ever-changing series of marine creature-oriented dives designed to expand public awareness and appreciation of Sydney’s beautiful marine life. Her mission is to inspire divers of all levels to fall in love with the ocean.
