Phil joined Manta Dive in 2014 armed with 50 dives, a rescue diver certification and a brand new Suunto D6.

Since then he has become full cave CCR certified, done expedition trimix dives to 145m on his SF2 eCCR, dived dual rebreather configurations and become an SF2 instructor trainer. Meanwhile in the open circuit side Phil is an extended range instructor and a TDI instructor trainer for ANDP, DPV and Sidemount.
