Mark Milburn

Number 10

Mark started diving properly about 10 years ago, only completing try dives etc. before that and he was snorkelling since before he can remember. Mark logged 800+ dives as a PADI open water diver, but it was only when the local dive shop said they were concerned about taking him to 45m+ dives that he went further with his qualifications… BSAC sport diver, adv. nitrox, PADI rescue, divemaster, TDI Extended range, Adv Trimix (TDI courses with Mark Ellyatt), DSAT Adv gas blender, BSAC CCR, PADI Assistant Instructor and SDI Instructor. Mark now instructs a range of SDI courses including nearly 20 specialties.

Mark already had boat courses, RYA powerboat courses, day skipper, and recently added VHF, Diesel engine maintenance and Sea survival to allow him to get a commercial license.

Mark does around 150 non-teaching dives a year in the U.K.’s coastal waters. A yearly pilgrimage to Thailand in February gets his warm water needs out of the way.

Mark started taking underwater photographs on his first trip to Thailand in 1999, he went digital as soon as he could and has had several digital compact setups since then. As well as digital stills he also uses underwater video equipment. He has had photo’s published in his local newspapers and Sport Diver magazine as well as underwater video appearing on the BBC.
