Kaj has been a dive professional since 1998. He has enjoyed an eclectic range of professions before following his heart and moving into full time diving.From being an IT Manager in the City of London, to helping make Dom Joly’s first TV show and then working at a London Bridge Club, he now dives and takes underwater video. Kaj started his dive career in the Caribbean and spent four wonderful years in Roatan, Honduras, before it got too developed. He then went to the Commonwealth of Dominica, an amazing island in the Eastern Caribbean, where he discovered his love of video.
He also discovered Barb. After fours years there, Barb and Kaj decided it was time for a change and we headed off to Malaysia, to manage a dive centre on Tioman. Another two years went by and then we got the opportunity to work on a wonderful boat, the Tuitai, in Fiji. After a quick stint back in the Caribbean, managing a private island called Turneffe Island Resort, it was on to Kungkungan Bay Resort, where we managed the diving operation for three years. KBR is an iconic resort and introduced us to our ongoing passion, ‘muck’ diving.
And finally, Kaj is pronounced ‘Kai’. He has no one to blame for this except his parents, both of who would be very upset if he changed his name at this point in his life. It is a Scandinavian (Swedish) name. Kaj does answer to pretty much any pronunciation, such as Ky, Key, Cadge, or K…especially if preceded by the phrase by ‘would you like a beer…?’
