Description
I am a teacher working with students with additional needs including behaviour and disabilities.
I learnt to scuba dive in 1998, became an instructor in 2002 and scuba diving is my happy place!
I have managed to continue working as a casual dive instructor whilst juggling full time teaching and motherhood to my beautiful 12 year old son, Thomas.
I love to travel and have lived and worked in England, Scotland, France, Thailand and Australia.
I enjoy walks with my dog, yoga and reading a good book.

Mark can lend a hand to anything with a background in engineering, welding and carpentry. He has also worked as a scuba technician and maintenance supervisor in a hotel and college.
I am a teacher but have experience in customer service and staff training and management.
