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 metres (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.
