Biography
I have been diving since 1981. I am based in both London & Newry, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. My passion is Closed Circuit Rebreather Technical Deep Wreck Diving and the production of video and photographs of the deep wrecks being dived. My other passion lies in the production of safe fit for purpose gas production for all types of diving. This is carried out through our Company Gas Technologies. I hold the qualification of CCR Rebreather & Open Water Instructor and have been diving a closed circuit rebreather for 10 years, 9 years as a MODIII Diver, with over 3000 hours on Closed Circuit Rebreather. Very fortunate to have been part of dive teams that have dived deep wrecks in Normandy, Italy, Malta, Sardinia, Greece, The Red Sea, Australia, The South China Seas, and particularly ,The Price of Wales and The Repulse, two of the largest British battleships sunk in WWII. In 2012. I was also fortunate to part of a team that dived the USS Saratoga and the Bikini Nuclear fleet that was destroyed by Nuclear Testing in 1946 in the South Pacific in Bikini Atol. In 2017, I was part of a Team to dive HMS Britannic and in 2018 I was very fortunate to be part of a team that dived numerous wrecks, including the WWII wreck of The USS Atlanta that lies in over 130m in Iron Bottom Sound, Guadalcanal in The Solomon Islands. In 2017, & 2018, I was privileged to lead a Team of International Divers which carried out research projects on the wreck of The Lusitania. In Aug 2019, we will be carrying out 3 Projects on The Lusitania over a 16 day period with a team of 28 CCR Divers. I’m so fortunate to have close to my home, what I consider to be the best wreck diving on the planet, in North Donegal, Ireland.
