REAR MORE about Peter...
Peter's own company, DEEP LENS, was established in 1983 to provide support in publishing his underwater photographs, articles and books. In the early 90's Peter's photographic workshops, held monthly in the Egyptian Red Sea, led to the first wreck safaris and deep south expeditions. By 1995 Peter was established as the leading authority on Egyptian shipwrecks and in 1996 SHIPWRECKS OF THE EGYPTIAN RED SEA was published and today remains the most accurate and comprehensive book on the subject yet published.
In 1996, Peter's contribution to diving both world wide and indeed around his native shores of North East England, won him the prestigious SSI PLATINUM PRO 5000 Award. The citation; "For an outstanding contributution to diving over 25 years." To date he has written a total of 8 books and his photographs and diving articles have been published world wide on a monthly basis. He is a regular contributor to DIVE and to H2O MAGAZINE.
In 2000, in conjunction with TORNADO MARINE, Peter began an intensive program of exploratory wreck safari's using the superb CYCLONE in the Northern Red Sea. 2003 saw that theme extend into the Gulf of Suez and the southern regions of Egypt. Both Peter and Ayman Mussan, owner of the Tornado fleet, were awarded the RED SEA GOVERNORS GENERALS AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE for their contribution to tourism and acknowledgement of Peter's work in shipwreck discovery and identification.
