Meet Our Crew
ALEX
Captain/Engineer/Dive Instructor
Alex joins us from Derby, England and has his BSC in Marine Biology. His nickname is TinTin for his tiny eyes! He has currently travelled to almost 50 countries but has worked predominantly in Honduras, Cambodia and The Bahamas. The Bahamas has been his home for the past 4 years. TinTin could spend all day surrounded by Sharks but you will never find him walking through a field of cows.
Jen
Engineer & Dive Instructor
Jen has been all around the world. Starting off in Australia on a pirate ship operating out at the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. She continued to see the ocean around Indonesia and Thailand where she furthered her education in the diving industry. She ended up working in a resort in the Maldives and then the Bahamas for the past four years where she did her IDC staff instructor certification. She has been a shark feeder for years and also worked for a short time in Baja California Sur, Socorro Islands before she came back to join our crew in November 2021. She has been working on our sister ship the Aqua Cat for two years and wants to further her knowledge in engineering and captaining on our Cat Ppalu. Before joining the diving industry Jen worked as a roofer in her home country Germany and she has her yacht carpentry degree. She has a massive passion for taking underwater photos and videos. The closer she comes to a shark the better!
