He has led numerous voyages through the Northwest Passage, skiing expeditions to Antarctica and Greenland, twice reached the geographic north pole and has completely circumnavigated both polar regions. In the tropics he has guided expeditions to dive the reefs of some of the most remote and pristine oceanic islands, never before visited by superyachts.With his background in marine science, Tim is always keen to explore, pioneering new regions and even discovering a previously unknown emperor penguin colony in Antarctica.
