Phill Wallis is an ocean adventurer whose life has been shaped by the sea. Based in Cairns, North Queensland, he works as a dive instructor and skipper, a career that began in 2016 and has immersed him in the underwater world.
Years spent beneath the surface have given him intimate encounters with marine life that few experience. When not on the water, Phill finds solace in drawing—a creative practice that has become central to his identity.
What started as a creative outlet evolved into entrepreneurship. He first launched a niche dive apparel venture, then discovered his true artistic passion: intricate dotwork illustrations of the ocean's creatures. His art captures the precision and beauty of marine life, each piece a testament to his deep connection with the sea.
