ABOUT cat

I am a curly English shark ecologist, freediving instructor, PADI divemaster, drone pilot, videographer and adventure explorer.

I have worked across the globe, from Iceland to the Dominican Republic to French Polynesia and everywhere in between. This has included volunteering, marine research, working in eco-tourism and underwater or aerial videography roles.

Koalafications.

I studied Marine Biology at the University of Portsmouth, and carried on to do my masters in Shark Ecology between the University of the Algarve and Curtin University in Western Australia.

I am a freediver- I currently hold the British national record diving to -80m in CWTB with a static breath hold of 06:05. I started officially training in 2019- before this I had five years of subconscious training, freediving to tag and photo ID sharks, mantas and whales around the world.
