Ian's accent is pretty tough for us (as someone famous once told us, you lot do have a funny accent) on this side of the trench.
But all you guys who have ever chased wrecks or dreamed of doing so, need to hear this. Ian is the real deal. After listening to Ian, if you are not ready to drop everything and jump on a boat to New Guinea, you need a new hobby.
