Originally
from the UK, Simon has lived in Asia for almost 40 years. He arrived in the region to join the Royal Hong
Kong Police and later became an assistant political advisor to the Hong Kong
Governor before being compulsorily retired "to facilitate constitutional
change."
Simon Pridmore has been involved at the sharp end of the scuba diving industry since
the early 1990s, pioneering mixed-gas deep diving in Asia, first in Hong Kong
and later through Professional Sports Divers, his dive centre in Guam, Micronesia
He then moved to the United Kingdom to run a major technical diver agency and work with cutting edge dive equipment
manufacturers VR Technology.
Today, he is one of the most prolific and well-known scuba diving and travel authors around. As well as his many books
and guides, Simon writes regular columns for a variety of
magazines. He and his wife Sofie currently live in Indonesia but spend a lot of time exploring other places trying, but failing so far,
to find a cure for their itchy feet.
