About Me
I was born in Chippenham, England. I am now based in Mexico, where I continue to work as an instructor and photographer and run underwater photography trips. Mexico offers an incredible variety, it is somewhere I can incorporate my love of travel, big animals and overhead environments all in one package.
As a child, my fascination with the ocean was stoked by local fishing and aquarium visits. This combined with my interest in sharks and rays eventually led me to scuba diving.
In 2011, after a move to Australia, my passion for the ocean and photography had a true chance to grow when I rented a Canon S90 while diving the Great Barrier Reef and snapped my first successful underwater photos of a Green Turtle.
My career in diving started in the form of selling tours in Vietnam and in 2013, I became a Dive Professional. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work around the world including Fiji, the Cayman Islands, Indonesia, Palau, Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands and Mexico. I have dived in over 20 different countries while gaining the credentials of PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, TDI Full Cave Diver and SSI Level II Freediver.
As a photographer, I began shooting while working in Fuerteventura, taking shots for dive students. It was in Komodo that I purchased my first Olympus TG-4. In my spare time, I would dive the house reef and work on techniques.
The real leap was when I joined the Siren and Master Fleets of Worldwide Dive and Sail. I worked as a Cruise Director and Divemaster and was introduced to some of the world’s top underwater photographers, which inspired me to invest in a Sony A7rii in the Nauticam housing. This gave him the tools and the opportunity to really grow.
I am now based in Mexico, where I continue to work as an instructor, photographer and videographer. Mexico offers an incredible variety, it is somewhere I can incorporate my love of travel, big animals and overhead environments all in one package.
