6. Any most memorable dive experience you’d like to share?
When I learned to use an underwater camera, and Spazm was there to teach me how…

7. How do you find MUW forum, your current job as MOD, and in which areas do you enjoy best?
Serves as a very good platform for information sharing, provided people keep their discussions open and constructive. Publicity mileage is great, provided also that this is not abused. So I guess, a job as a MOD will keep you busy as hell and puts your patience to the test, but if one remains optimistic and focused, the objective of the forum can be easily achieved.

8. Any areas that you would like to see improved in our diving industry?
There must always be continuous improvement in the areas of responsible and safe diving, with regards to people, the environment and other living beings dependent on it. And healthy competition, in every sense of the word.

9. Can you tell us more about yourself? (working experience, personal interests, families etc..)
I left a multinational conglomerate and the corporate world of oil palm to pursue ‘life’, loosely abiding by the principles of my favourite author, Paulo Coelho. I appreciate my travel experiences with family and friends as I seek a deeper understanding of my passion for the environment.
I’m a so-so writer and a hopeless photographer, hence why the articles and reports I write are supplemented by pictures from my dear friends. When I write, the pieces often aims to subtly convey the message that there is a lot out there that needs some attention and concerted effort to protect and conserve in order to make sustainable development a reality.
I hold a science degree in Biotechnology from Monash University and Genetics used to be my favourite subject.
My favourite colour is GREEN, as long as it doesn’t make you squint to look at it.

10. Any other things?
Many other things… but they are just threads in the big tapestry of life.
