Teaching monthly PADI Instructor Development Courses in French and English at Asia Divers-EBO, a leading 5* Instructor Development Resort on Koh Tao in Eastern Thailand, I have the privilege of mentoring the next generation of conservation champions.  As Manager of Asia Divers, I organise Dive Against Debris and beach clean-up events at least monthly, together with other positive environmental leadership initiatives, such as Shark Petition Signature e-drives.  In addition to the Project AWARE and AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Specialities, I teach the AWARE Fish Identification Adventure Dive and Speciality.  Candidates and students at all levels donate and receive AWARE versions of their certification cards.

As well as being a PADI Master Instructor and Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer, teaching over 30 PADI distinctive and standardised specialities, I am a passionate TecRec trimix and rebreather instructor and I love cave diving in particular.

My previous career was in investment banking, following my academic background in pure mathematics, in which subject I earned bachelor's and master's honours degrees from Oxford University.  Additionally, I hold the Postgraduate Diploma of the UK Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (MCSI).
