Carlene Williams (27) also hails from England, and her natural creative talents led her to achieving an Honors degree in Fine Art.

Stewardess Kim and Mate CJ

Carl aka "CJ" Coetzee (25) started to follow his dreams when he was only 16 as a freelance photographer for a local South African extreme sports magazine.

Shortly after completing the Scuba Diving Open Water course his passion for photography followed him into the water. After a year of diving in the Cayman Islands every day he returned to South Africa to qualify as a Master Scuba Trainer. CJ subsequently joined a team of under water filmmakers in Mozambique, and was fortunate enough to spend 6 months working on an educational documentary about over-fishing and the Shark Fin industry in Mozambique waters.

After completing Coastal Skippers course in Cape Town he left the Africa to work in the yachting industry in the Mediterranean, following which he ran a diving center in the South Pacific.

CJ continues to travel the world whist following his passion, his work now published in African Geographic, BBC, Scientific journals, multiple diving books and magazines.

Kim van Eyk (23) from sunny South Africa spent her early days next to a motocross track and as soon as she could walk was on a quad competing. Fuelled by adrenalin sports, Kim enjoys sailing, scuba diving and sky diving. She started working in the corporate hospitality industry at a young age which inspired her to complete a degree in BCOM Marketing Management.

After graduating Kim decided to travel, working as a Dive Instructor in Mozambique, and later in the beautiful Pacific Islands where she lived in and amongst rainforest, volcanoes and waterfalls. Before jet setting she completed her RYA Coastal Skippers from Cape Town, which started her carrer in the yachting industry. In the past year she has gained valuable experience working as stewardess on high-end luxury motor yachts. A trained massage therapist, Kim can relax and ease all your tensions with a Swedish massage.
