Meet our Professional Crew
Ross Miller
Business Manager, Captain, Engineer & Dive Master
Ross is a seasoned adventurer and an expert in exploring the Great Barrier Reef and the tropical north coast of Australia. Growing up in the region, he developed a deep connection with the mountainous coastline and marine life. His passion for adventure led him to become an early pioneer in kitesurfing along Cairns' northern beaches during his teenage years.
With over 30 years of experience, Ross has become a versatile waterman, engaging in activities such as diving, spearfishing, surfing, kitesurfing, hang gliding, and photography.
Ross sees the Great Barrier Reef and its surrounding areas as his "backyard" and believes in seizing every opportunity to create the ultimate adventure for all our guests. His diverse skill set and extensive knowledge of the region make him the perfect guide for guests and scientists exploring the remote Great Barrier Reef coast.
Since its establishment in 2011, Ross has managed and skippered Aroona Luxury Boat Charters, transforming it into the most sought-after tailored experience on the Great Barrier Reef. Beyond providing exceptional adventures for guests, Ross is dedicated to advancing research in the region. He has established long-running collaborations with scientists, contributing to studies on minke whale migrations and behaviors, shark movements, nautilus populations, seagrass monitoring, coral assessments and restoration from Cairns up to the Torres Strait.
