Brian McKenna was a professional abalone diver at Mallacotta, Victoria.  He passed away about 1983.

We competed in the NSW state spearfishing championships at Currarong about 1963 together with Brian Raison, and  myself (John Sumner) - our team came second.

The amazing thing was that Brian McKenna had caught his fish by diving off the rocks.  A very limiting factor.  He did not tell us that he was without "water transport".

A fitness fanatic, "Bruno" looked after his body well - and was a body builder who associated with champion like Paul Graham.

The excesses of money earned from abalone diving took him regularly to Thailand which was a risky social experiment in the early 1980's.
