Episode Sharks, dead bodies & black water - the life of a police diver: Luke McCulloch Pt. 2
In this continuation of their deep dive, Gary Jubelin speaks with former Western Australian police diver Luke McCulloch about the harrowing reality of underwater investigations. Luke details the psychological and physical demands of searching for evidence and recovering bodies in "deep, dark, and dirty" conditions—from murky riverbeds to the open ocean.
Luke shares the terrifying experience of working in shark-infested waters and explains why the "touch and feel" of a recovery operation never truly leaves you. They explore the professionalism required to operate in high-stakes environments and the emotional toll of a career spent finding what no one else wants to find.
In this episode:
• The reality of body recovery in zero-visibility environments. • The dangers of diving with Great White sharks. • The intense selection process and resilience required to be a police diver. • The lifelong impact of "deep, dark, and dirty" operations.
