Habits: Nearly drowning after a perfectly pleasant dive, whilst trying to remove my fins! Over sleeping, biting my fingernails, being impatient, getting very excited and gabbling.

Summary by someone else: a high-octane individual who enjoys all things dangerous. He is keener than mustard about everything diving, and if he wants something done, then it’s got to be NOW NOW NOW, whiz, whiz, whizz. Tiring to keep up with, but worth the effort.
