About

I am an enthusiastic deckhand looking to progress in my career at sea. I have experience with sailing, rig checks, line-handling, anchoring, jet/outboard large tender driving, crane driving, winch servicing as well as painting and caulking. In previous roles I have been responsible for guiding dives, logistics and equipment maintenance. I am currently looking for a role in which I can be involved with diving operations onboard.
