Ultimate Dive Sites

Acclaimed underwater photographer and diving expert  Todd  Thimios  has completed more than 3500 dives and sailed around the world for more than 10 years.   Growing up in Queensland, Australia, the son of a keen fisherman,   Todd  spent most of his childhood  exploring the Great Barrier Reef. At 16 he became a Dive Master and by 20 he was an Instructor.   Throughout  his twenties,   Todd was a dive guide on Lord Howe Island, before flying to the French Riviera  to work in  the exclusive world of private superyachts.   In the following years,   Todd  became one of the most sought-after dive guides for billionaires and celebrities. With his knowledge of diving,   Todd  helped to niche out a job previously (and still now) unheard of, a ‘ Dive Scout’ .   Flown ahead of guests to new destinations, weeks in advance,   Todd  would find, film and curate ultimate dive itineraries  before  guiding guests underwater, including diving with orcas in the frigid waters of the Arctic and exploring virgin reefs in the remote South Pacific.   Adding to his diving skillset,   Todd  has also trained as a submersible pilot, allowing him to dive to depths of 1000 meters (3000 feet) with clients in their private submersibles.   Todd  is uniquely qualified and has brought his specialist knowledge, experience and photographic skill to present the best dive sites to be found around the world.
