Introduction
Originally from the United Kingdom, I reside in Sydney, Australia, where I manage Nomadic Scuba and host the Scuba GOAT Podcast.
After a 17-year career in the British Royal Air Force, I reached a turning point and decided a well-deserved dive vacation would help me navigate the next phase of my life. On Christmas Day 2012, I left the UK for Southeast Asia, on what was meant to be a 6 week diving holiday. It turned into 5 years in Thailand and 1 year in Papua New Guinea; advancing through the professional diving ranks, teaching, guiding, and managing dive operations in numerous locations. I met incredible people, experienced unforgettable dives, and travelled through spectacular locations; all of which contributed to the launch of Nomadic Scuba.
