This Blog started in Antarctica where I was a Marine Scientist for 18 months. Since then, it has followed my progression into a Professional Marine Scientist, Diver and Skipper. Now I am a Freelance Marine Scientist, and director of my own company and offer my services of diving, skippering, deckhand and Open Water swim coaching. When not working I enjoy going on remote adventures mountain biking, climbing and freediving. Read here for my random stories of adventure and science!
