I acquired the name Shaggy after a bad hair cut from my mum at 13 years old, stuck with me ever since, thanks!
I started traveling at 18 and haven't stopped since. I've worked and lived all over the world. I have been a scuba diver and a skier instructor all my adult life, and had the honor of living in some of the world's top destinations including Egypt, Switzerland, and South Pacific islands before moving to Grand Cayman in 2011.
I fell in love with Cayman immediately: the people, the water colour, the climate, the safety, and, of course, the stunning reefs, so a few years ago I set up a dive company, Shaggy's Diving, and bought a beautiful condo to call my home.
At 18, I learned to be a pro diver in Malaysia and then changed my degree from medicine to marine biology from QMW in London.
I am a trimix diver, both open and closed circuit, with over 10,000 dives worldwide, a PADI, SDI & TDI scuba dive instructor, as well as an IYT boat captain instructor.
I love to travel, learn extreme sports, meet new people and see what an awesome planet we live on.

Having managed a scuba diving center for many years and a number of condos all over Grand Cayman, Coconut Bay is perfect for those wanting to relax a little away from the hustle and price of Seven Mile Beach.
The shore diving and ease of access to dive sites are simply bliss. Eagle rays, turtles and parrot fish are found just meters from the shore in some of the best visibility diving waters in the world. We can teach you in the heated pool and run our snorkel and diving trips from just 5 mins away. I love it and you will too!

Located in quiet West Bay and on the easy bus route just 10 mins to Seven Mile Beach, Coconut Bay is a little gem of a place. TheTiki bar next door is the best on the island for watching spectacular sunsets. If you are not into Scuba Diving, there is so much to do. A quick five minute drive and you are at Barkers Beach to do some kitesurfing and horseback riding. Ten minutes down to Seven Mile Beach and you have all the jet skiing, paddle boarding, and hobie cat sailing you want.
There are two beautiful public golf courses, rock climbing centers and gyms. Down in George Town, you'll find tax free shopping from all major brands. Jewelry and watches are all the rage! Just looking to lay back, relax and unwind in a more secluded oceanside getaway and sip a cool drink by the pool while the stresses of your busy life back home fade away? Coconut Bay is just the place for you!
