Keynote Speaker Announced

R.HarrisThailand Cave Rescue Diver Dr Richard Harris will be our 2025 Keynote speaker! Be inspired by his heroic story.

Dr Richard “Harry” Harris has worked in anaesthesia, diving, and aeromedical medicine around the world.  His passion for cave diving goes back to the 1980’s and has taken him to the corners of the globe in search of new adventures. 

Harry has a professional and voluntary interest in search and rescue operations, establishing the first cave diving rescue capability in Australasia. The 2018 Thailand cave rescue was an opportunity to put this training to work. 

Harry received the Star of Courage, and the Medal of the Order of Australia for this role. He was the joint 2019 Australian of the Year with his dive partner Craig Challen and is now primarily working as a speaker, author, and film maker.
