Brothers Peter and Brian Busteed run Islander Cruises and SCUBA diving business, Howea Divers out of the same lagoon side Boatshed. Both Peter and Brian originally from Sydney spent their earlier years living on Norfolk Island before coming to Lord Howe in 1989 on a Scuba Diving holiday.

As a family run business Peter, wife Vicky and children Brooke and Noah are all strongly connected with the Islander Howea Boatshed and Island community. Vicky now designs an extensive range of prints, artwork and other items inspired by the beauty of their home. She is also known for her famous homemade chocolate cake!
