Kev first took the plunge on holiday in France in 1996. On returning home he signed up with a local BSAC school, progressing to a BSAC Assistant Instructor before converting to PADI in 1999.

He has dived extensively along the South Coast of England, and has worked for several schools in the UK, coming to work with Flippas-n-Fins in 2002.

He has dived, worked and guided in the UK, Egypt, Malta and Lanzarote and dived in France, Tenerife, Beiruit, Tunisa, Gozo, Florida, The Cape Verde Islands, South Africa and Bali.

Beware; he is a confirmed dive nut, just as happy bimbling along off Chesil beach or under Swanage Pier as on a deep technical dive. He just can't get enough.

As of this point his favourite dive location is the water anywhere, but if pushed can't decide between Bali and Scapa Flow.
