Sam is our manager at the resort. He is responsible for the diving, photo help, maintenance and general running of the resort.

Originally from North Yorkshire, England, Sam has been a dive professional since 2012 and is currently a PADI Master Instructor. He has experience working in the Red Sea, Mediterranean, Pacific Islands and has been living and working in South East Asia since 2015. 

Sam will try to get out diving most days and certainly will be joining all Blackwater Dives, he shoots with a Canon R5 in a Nauticam housing. 

Whilst Blackwater Diving is still his favourite, during the day Sam’s Frogfish obsession has been surpassed by his joy in searching for and photographing Gobies.
