What inspired you to become a commercial diver?
“It’s something I had always wanted to do in the back of my mind, but I didn’t know how to do it. I thought you had to join the Navy. Then randomly, I was at the dentist and saw an ad for a diving school in a magazine – it said ‘All Welcome’. Within a week I was at diving school.”

What do you love about your role at UCC?
“We’re given opportunities to grow and succeed – you need to work for it – but the opportunities are available. For example, when I was with another company working offshore, there was a hierarchy established according to the number of years you worked, so it was a long process to advance. What I like about UCC, the opportunities are wide – not limited to just diving – and you can grow as fast as the effort you’re willing to put in.”
