SHIPWRECK. RESEARCH. EXPLORATION.
Character is not measured by the depths dived or the shipwrecks discovered or the personal feats achieved. Character is measured by the impact made on the community and the positive connections made to history.
​
Shipwrecks are much more than a pile of twisted steel, tangled pipes, and collapsed wood. Shipwrecks are a vessel to the past. Each shipwreck has a unique story - it is these lost tales of death and survival which push me into the depths in order to connect the present with the past.
