Book Dr. Craig Challen for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Australian technical diver and famous cave explorer Craig Challen, OAM (Gen) has made significant contributions to the study of subaquatic cave systems. He was raised in Thornlie, Perth, and graduated from Eastern Hills Senior High School there before deciding to become a veterinarian. Challen has received multiple honors for his unrivaled expertise in cave diving, including the 2009 Diver of the Year award from Oztek for his contributions to caving and cave exploration.

Throughout his career, Challen has performed a number of noteworthy dives, including one in 2010 that broke the record by 194 meters at New Zealand's Cocklebiddy Cave. Along with Richard Harris, he went back to the Pearse Resurgence in 2020 to set a new record for depth in Australasia, reaching 245 meters.

The most important effort made by Challen was during the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue in Thailand, where he and Harris were instrumental in helping to rescue 12 kids and an adult from the flooded cave system. The Governor-General of Australia awarded him the Star of Courage (SC) and the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in recognition of his services. Additionally, the Most Admirable Order of the Direkgunabhorn named him a Knight Grand Cross (First Class) by the King of Thailand.

In the fields of diving and exploration, Challen is well-respected, and his accomplishments have won him the respect of his contemporaries..
