His true joy lies in guiding dives and revealing the wonders of the deep, including small and hard-to-find creatures that others might miss.

Sigrid Torbay, Hens’s wife and partner, is a former human rights lawyer turned Divemaster, has a deep-rooted passion for marine conservation. She is your go-to person for bookings, administration, and guiding dives.
