Andy Alfred

Andy took his first fin-kicks in the scuba world in 2002. Almost immediately obsessed, diving became his one really serious interest (apart from underwater photography, mountain walking, cinema, music, chopping firewood, and purchasing shiny new kit), and following PADI instructor certification through the London School of Diving, he now finds himself regularly teaching scuba around the world.

Having joined the team at The Scuba Place in 2012, Andy is also ‘deeply immersed’ in the world of scuba holiday provision for TSP clients. His role includes going out to dive clubs and centres to host seminars, visiting holiday providers to scope the quality and value of their product offered (a particularly arduous task!), and represent TSP with a view to enhance the company’s presence in the market place.

Andy has developed a keen interest in the Dark Art of underwater photography, making any excuse to get away and practise. He is currently wrestling with the problem of what his next camera is going to be - and how he is going to convince his wife that it’s in her interests to pay for it.
