Additional Info

Keith started diving when he was just 9 years old. From the very beginning, he was fascinated by the underwater world, and wrecks particularly appealed to him. He came to GUE after a personal experience on the wreck of the Inger Klit (you can listen to this story on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/0kqStNsI18RMggBNlbkm0j?si=4WcF0pEDQrWXIuQ2USGWEQ). He quickly realised that the GUE training would enable him to dive his favourite wrecks safely and enjoy them even more. He is particularly keen to protect divers from the mistakes he has made in his diving career and to teach them safe diving from the outset. But the fun never falls by the wayside
His passion for the underwater world made him a very active diver, and after years of enjoyment he decided to turn his hobby into a profession.
Keith is GUE Tech 2 and Cave 2 trained and actively participates in various projects. He is passionate about training and loves to share his knowledge. Although his roots are in Germany - he lives up north in Hamburg - he feels at home around the globe.
