Richard Harris Booking Agency Profile

Book Richard Harris for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
An internationally renowned anesthetist and cave diver from Australia named Richard "Harry" Harris, OAM (Gen), garnered notoriety for his work in the Tham Luang cave rescue. He shared the 2019 Australian of the Year award with fellow diver Craig Challen for his contributions to the rescue effort.

Harris graduated from St. Peter's College in Adelaide, South Australia, and went on to get his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees from Flinders University in 1988. Before beginning his career with medical aid teams for natural catastrophes in the Pacific region and Australian Aid missions to Vanuatu, he finished his anaesthetics training in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Harris currently works for the South Australian Ambulance Service's medical retrieval service as an anesthetist and aeromedical consultant.

But Harris' extraordinary cave diving adventure is what made him famous all around the world. He has more than 30 years of expertise in cave diving, and in 2011 and 2012, he led an Australian diving team to depths of 192 and 221 meters while looking for the Pearse River's origins in New Zealand. Agnes Milowka passed away in 2011 while being explored a cave at Tantanoola, South Australia, and Harris was crucial in helping to recover her body.

Harris was honored with the "Outstanding Achievement" and "Australasian Technical Diver of the Year" awards for his remarkable contributions to cave diving exploration at Oztek, an Australian technical diving conference, in 2009 and 2017, respectively. In the Tham Luang cave rescue, where he risked his life to assist save the lives of 12 teenage soccer players and their coach, Harris's bravery and expertise in cave diving were crucial..
