Meet The Team

Nick went well beyond badge collecting. When he came in to do his Divemaster course with LSD a few years back he ended up buying the company. We still think that is the biggest up-sell in PADI history! He is an Assistant Instructor and spends his time mostly pushing the LSD brand to new heights behind the scenes. Nick used to work in the world of IT & Consulting before seeing the light and living the life of riley.

Neil escaped from normal life in the UK in 2006 in search of the fountain of youth, but after completing his PADI instructors course in Cyprus he realized the scuba life was a much more desirable occupation. He has a fantastic diving CV, teaching in many countries around the world including Thailand, Australia, Egypt and the Caribbean to name but a few. Eventually after 4 years teaching, his journey across the globe brought him to LSD where he is now our Assistant Manager and also assisting Course Director on all the Instructor Development Courses.

She has lived in Cape Town for most of her life and had amazing diving experiences there as well as going to the Red Sea to do her IDC and gain work experience. Gaining many amazing fun dives in European country’s such as Greece and Portugal as well as up the coast of South Africa. Taryn's passion is to help the environment and try to do as much as she can to make an impact. To broaden her knowledge on marine conservation and coral regeneration and propagation and combine that with the diving industry.
