I started diving in 1967 and have dived internationally both as a club diver and a commercial diver (in the 1980s). The two aspects are quite similar as you are reliant on your dive buddy or your dive team for your safety and wellbeing. I have been connected with marine activities ever since principally through assuring the technical integrity of offshore oil and gas facilities. Now interested in diving the many wrecks we have off the east coast, the various pipelines running into the Bacton gas terminal and enjoying exciting club trips in UK and overseas.

I joined the Lowestoft BSAC branch in 2017 and became chairperson in 2025 providing me the opportunity to transfer some of my underwater and management skills back into BSAC where it all started.

We welcome all divers and trainees and look forward to sharing future adventures with them. It is never too late to start diving. My father (the older guy in the photo) featured as the oldest active scuba diver in the Guinness book of records and was diving until he was 98!
