Snap-shot | John has been diving since 1990 and is recognized as one of the world’s
leading technical diving instructors. He specializes in teaching closed
circuit rebreathers and in 2005 was invited to write the
Inspiration/Evolution training manual for Technical Diving
International. He is an Instructor Trainer for TDI and IANTD as well as
an advanced instructor for BSAC and PADI. After years of teaching diving in the U.K, John moved to the Turks and Caicos Islands, where he set up and ran his own technical diving facility. ‘O2 Technical Diving’ went on to become a world-class technical diving facility and helped arrange the first ever rebreather expeditions to the world’s most remote and exciting dive sites, including Galapagos, Bikini and Chuuk Lagoon. While living in the Turks and Caicos, John founded ‘The Caicos Caves Project’, a team of experienced cave divers dedicated to exploring, mapping and protecting the incredible underwater cave systems beneath the islands. He is also a qualified Recompression Chamber Safety Officer, having conducted over 200 treatments while in Turks and Caicos. During the eight years John ran O2 Technical Diving, his company boasted a 100% safety record. In 2003, John provided the logistics and safety diver support for Tanya Streeter’s world record breaking free dive to 160m (540ft), which was filmed as part of the documentary ‘Inner Breath’. John has since been engaged and consulted as Dive Supervisor and Safety Officer on several documentaries for the BBC and Discovery channels. In 2005, John was contracted by James Cameron’s Earthship Productions to work on various dive-related film projects. When not underwater, John can be found engaging in his other passions, screenwriting and playing guitar in his Sydney-based rock’n’roll band. His first feature film, Sanctum (executively produced by Cameron) is slated for production later this year. |
