Originally
from the UK, Simon has lived in the Asia-Pacific region for almost 40 years and has been involved at the sharp end of the scuba diving industry since
the early 1990s, pioneering mixed-gas deep diving in the region, 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 training 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 and, under the pen name of S.J. Pridmore, has recently published a highly-acclaimed work of creative non-fiction called May the People Know I'm Here?
Today, Simon and his wife Sofie are still on the move, trying, but so far failing,
to find a cure for their itchy feet.
