I started diving with the TA in the 1970's and took up underwater photography in the early 1980's. I founded Photosub in 1990.
I became an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) and a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) in 2006.I obtained a distinction with the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain for audio-visual presentations.
I am on the Lecture circuit with the Surrey Photographic Association with my slide shows, audio-visuals and photoshop tutorials. I regularly organise photographic trips for underwater photographers..
