An enthusiastic South African, he has been working in and on the water since 2015. He is always ready to hit the water whether it's down diving, up surfing or just a relaxed sunset cruise and everything in between. His love for the ocean has only grown with the more I learn about it. Michael is passionate about exploring and showing guests everything the ocean has to offer. He started off as a scuba instructor, then doubled as a whale watching guide. He experienced diving on remote reefs off remote coastlines in South Africa with various whale, dolphin and shark species and the most incredible reef systems that many people have never heard of. Michael was then offered a position working in the Bahamas for 4 years as an adventure sports guide prior moving over onto the yachts where he has been moving in and around the beautiful Bahamian islands and waters. Michaels favorite thing about yachting has been the amazing opportunity for him to travel and meet new people.
