I started recreational diving in 2002 – 4 years, several thousand pounds, 2 girlfriends, plenty of courses and lots of dives since caused me to realise that diving is much more than just a hobby.

My best dives, except one on the Rosalie Moller, have been in UK waters – I’m not a big fan of being herded around or told I can only go to ‘that’ depth for ‘that’ time.  Freedom and exploration are key to my enjoyment underwater.

     

 

My diving and related qualifications include:
SAA Dive Leader
PADI Divemaster
EFR Instructor
DAN Oxygen Provider
Diver Propulsion Vehicle
Nitrox
VHF Radio Operators Certificate (Ship)
Global Maritime Distress Signalling Service
Dayskipper
Funds (and time) permitting - IANTD and TDI courses to follow soon.

Remember: Hope for the best and plan for the worst.
