Andrew's instructor background spans core diver development, advanced skills, specialist equipment and marine awareness.
Freediving adds relaxation, breath control, body awareness and water confidence to Andrew's diving background.
Instruction and operational experience combine practical first aid, emergency oxygen and calm decision-making under pressure.
Technical, rebreather and sidemount experience reinforces Andrew's approach to planning, discipline, redundancy and situational awareness.
Supporting qualifications in boat handling, navigation and marine communications complement Andrew's diving and safety experience.
Practical marine-rescue experience and recognised environmental training support a considered, low-impact approach to diving.
Ocean Action
I believe good diving should leave the underwater world better understood and, wherever possible, better protected. As a PADI Dive Against Debris Instructor, I can train divers to conduct safe underwater debris surveys, make sound decisions about what should be removed or left in place, and report useful data through PADI AWARE.
That commitment also means careful buoyancy, respect for marine life, low-impact diving and support for PADI AWARE's wider work on marine debris, vulnerable species, protected areas and habitat conservation.
