Marine life and the global ecological ‘big picture’ are Jamie’s passions.

His mission is to deliver paradigm-changing expeditions across the world that leave guests changed and inspired in lasting stewardship to rebuild and enrich the biosphere.

He spent two years overwintering with the British Antarctic Survey at Grytviken, South Georgia, from 2004 - 2006. Jamie is a keen wildlife photographer and illustrator, published in Ozdiver, Dive Log Australasia, Ocean Geographic, Scuba, Geographical Expedition, Diver, Tauchen and Sport Diving Australia magazines, and a variety of media including BBC Wildlife magazine to The Underwater Channel, and scientific papers.
