Staff Profile

I learnt to dive in a freezing cold lake in 50 degrees in the south coast of England with 3 foot visibility in a deep salt water lake, and it changed my life for ever. One dive was all it took for me to go on a drastic career change. Since then I’ve dived and worked in the Seychelles, Jamaica, Honduras and Mexico. Dedicating my time and energy into conservation and sharing my passion with others. In the Seychelles I worked on a. Remote marine base in a marine park, running coral surveys and leading divers on their research dives. After attaining my divemaster. In Jamaica and Honduras I worked as a divemaster/ instructor, teaching and exploring and gaining a better understanding of the underwater world.

Born and raised in London, opportunities to see underwater life was far and few between, but the pull of the ocean waits for no man. Years of corporate life in London was enough to motivate myself to lead a life I would be proud to tell friends and family.
