I've been a Dive Master since 18 and an Instructor since 20 years old- So not much before that other than school and working on construction sites.

What other places have you worked in the world?

Only Worked in the UK and Cayman. Tried to work in the US before I came to Cayman, but for some reason they wouldn't let me? Traveled to many dive destinations over the years: Hawaii, French Polynesia, Belize, Bahamas, Cozumel, Jamaica, Roatan, Turks & Caicos.....

What is your favorite marine life?

Sharp Nose Puffer

What is your favorite Cayman dive site?

What do you love most about the East End?

The best of both worlds - a true sleepy Caribbean Village, but only a short drive away from the cosmopolitan West side for good restaurants and entertainment.

Tell us a random fact about yourself?

I only planned to be in Cayman for 1 year and then return to college in the UK - 29 years later I'm still here, married to a beautiful island girl and now have two children that will hopefully take over the business one day - Never going back, sorry Mum!
