I am a PADI OWSI and have been working as an intern in the Caribbean gaining experience guiding and teaching. Since then I have worked in Thailand, Borneo and now the Philippines.

Im heavily tattoo’d after becoming addicted to Ink, all my tattoo’s are dive related and have been done by some of the best UK artists. my tattoos are a form of art and not be be confused with the cheap bad tattoo’s you see on many people today.

Tattoo’s are my 2nd passion though, diving is my first and I am as happy in cold water as I am warm, you will often find me with a camera in my hand trying to improve my underwater photos.. yes I have a long way to go when it comes to Photography but I enjoy it very much.. I have a keen interest to dive with sharks and all large pelagic life so my goal is to be able to work on a live-aboard as a guide and get to see and dive with some of the oceans most amazing wonders.

However saying that I am also happy enjoying the macro wonders of the ocean or investigating a wreck, caven, cave or anything else that catches my eye.

Most of all I want to meet new people, expand my horizons, try new foods, dive in new places, continue to improve and develop my diving skills and knowledge in and out of the water and maybe get a new tattoo or two.
