His expertise lies in deep, technical, and cave diving, which has taken him to various locations worldwide. Utilizing cutting-edge technology such as mixed gases and rebreathers, as well as traditional SCUBA equipment, he has mapped new submerged cave systems and discovered numerous lost shipwrecks. Andy's exploration knows no bounds, from WW2 merchant-mans in the cold, dark waters of the English Channel to 18th-century warships off uninhabited islands in Southern Patagonia. Few divers possess the skills to operate in the vast cave systems and extreme depths that Andy fearlessly explores. In addition to his underwater exploits, Andy is a professionally qualified climber, mountaineer, kayak guide, and accomplished skydiver. He has undertaken remarkable feats such as a High-Altitude High-Opening jump from 28,000 feet for a science project filmed by the BBC.
