I acquired the name Shaggy after a bad hair cut from my mum at 13 years old, stuck with me ever since, thanks!
I started traveling at 18 and haven't stopped since. I've worked and lived all over the world. I have been a scuba diver and a skier instructor all my adult life, and had the honor of living in some of the world's top destinations including Egypt, Switzerland, and South Pacific islands before moving to Grand Cayman in 2011.
I fell in love with Cayman immediately: the people, the water colour, the climate, the safety, and, of course, the stunning reefs, so a few years ago I set up a dive company, Shaggy's Diving, and bought a beautiful condo to call my home.
At 18, I learned to be a pro diver in Malaysia and then changed my degree from medicine to marine biology from QMW in London.
I am a trimix diver, both open and closed circuit, with over 10,000 dives worldwide, a PADI, SDI & TDI scuba dive instructor, as well as an IYT boat captain instructor.
I love to travel, learn extreme sports, meet new people and see what an awesome planet we live on.
