Your energy and enthusiasm for all things to do with the sea and diving lives on and has inspired many people, including us, to think more about what's below the waves.

We always loved hearing about your diving/life experiences and knowledge on everything, told with such enthusiasm and energy.

Mark, you will be remembered for being a 'top bloke', a fountain of knowledge and someone who lights up any room... or boat. I loved my dives with you. You are going to be sorely missed. I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there today, but my thoughts are with you, Ruth, your family and all your friends. RIP beautiful man. I hope there are some mighty fine wrecks, reefs and fish in eternally calm and sparkly seas waiting for you. Lots of love, Lisa xxx

Coast Diver @ Coast2Coast Motorhomes Ltd

Coast Diver was created to preserve the history of the wreck of the Hera, but above all to never forget the 19 sailors who died on this wreck. A massive contribution to this project was from Mark. Although the project was to preserve history, this donation is for Mark who worked tirelessly to protect the future of our oceans. As diver's ourselves we are all very passionate about this. Lou and David

Tom Roberts

I was so sad to hear the news. I loved diving off your boat, you were one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable skippers I have met.

Phil Bowley

Really grateful to Mark and Ruth for some lovely diving and great company, Mark will be missed.

Reinhard Mita

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news.I really enjoyed diving off your boats and will miss our chats on the way back in. You always found a good dive site and were always reliable and prepared. RIP

Mark & Karen Walker

In all the years we've known you, you were a pleasure to work with and a joy to be with. Your Bowgie Nights were legendary! We will miss you.

Ryan Hunnisett

I will never forget the day we met on Stingray Charters when I was freelancing for Eden Project on one their exhibitions 5 years ago. Since then it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you on all sorts of projects as safety cover for film crews on your boat, organising guided dives through Atlantic Scuba to making history by discovering the lost anchors and cannons belonging to wreck: 'The President' off Loe Bar. You had given amazing support to me both professionally and personally and I have learnt so much about the diving industry whilst working with you! May you rest in peace and let the seas be kind. Take it easy dude and don't drink all the tea until we next meet again. Ryan (Scuba Ry).

Simon Stovell

So sad that someone with such joy of life is taken from this world prematurely , however Mark's influence will live on through the diving community who have had the privilege to have either dived with him or been diving with him . Calm seas and fair weather RIP Mark.
