Exploring the Ocean Realm

Based on experiences as the ship’s naturalist on various sailing expeditions; a guide for Discover the World and Wildwings;  co-author of SEALIFE - A Complete Guide to the Marine Environment; and a marine biologist with an M.Sc. in Oceanography.

• Travel the seas in search of whales and dolphins, one of the ultimate of all wildlife experiences.
• Check out dolphins from Iceland to the Bay of Biscay and from Fin Whales in the Southern Ocean to Common Dolphins off Gibraltar.
• See Killer Whales, Sea Lions, Sea Otters and dolphins galore up close off of California, including the biggest animal of then all - the Blue Whale!
• Witness inquisitive Humpback Whales off New England that will come right up to the boats and look up at you - an experience that has people in tears from the emotion of it all.
• Encounter Minke Whales up close in Antarctica on a zodiac cruise amongst the ice on a polar expedition.
• Exploring UK islands on the Explorer, the Andrea, Island Sky and Clipper Adventurer with Noble Caldedonia.
• Exploring the Indian Ocean on the Island Skye with Noble Caldedonia, from Madagascar to Mauritius and the Seychelles.
• Swimming with sharks and with a wild school of dolphins in the Bahamas (or is it the other way around - dolphins swimming with humans) - and also check out my articles on encounters with dolphins and sharks in the reports section.

I can also talk about the following groups of marine life in specific oceans and seas, from the tropics to temperate and polar regions:

• Seabirds
• Seals
• Whales
• Dolphins
• Turtles
• Sharks

I also have plenty of interesting short stories for ’re-caps’ and the option to check out some stunning whale-watching video sequences - check out my lectures for wildlife cruises.
