Hi I’m Russell Bowyer

Russell Bowyer Scuba Diver in Dui Drysuit before a dive in the Farne Islands UK

I’m the guy behind Scuba Diving Earth. My first dive was on the Great Barrier Reef in 1989 and since then I’ve dived hundreds of times around the world. I’m a BSAC Dive Leader, have been a BSAC diver trainer and the Diving Officer of a Saffron Walden BSAC Club.  I live in the UK near to the New Forest in Hampshire with my lovely wife Jo. I enjoy scuba diving around the world, but now mostly in the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean. I have a love of diving where I can see sharks. My favourite so far was seeing Whale Sharks on the Ningaloo Reef in Australia.
