Barry has been involved in the underwater environment for the past 35 years. His passion is to educate and promote the oceans around the world in their grandest moods.
Starting out as a passionate free diver, where his abilities quickly propelled him to represent and then later captain the South African freediving team. His passion soon moved him to the wild oceans of the Mozambique coast, where for 18 years he dived and shared his knowledge and experience with both free divers and scuba divers.
An underwater video camera was the obvious move for him, and for the past fifteen years he has been documenting some of the greatest underwater events that our oceans and rivers have to offer, and along the way winning some grand awards.
One of Barry’s greatest passions is Sharks, and the bigger the better. Zambezi (Bull sharks), Tiger sharks and great white sharks are the animals that he has honed his skills on, and with a freediving background, he knows these species better than most around the world.
Not only does he do wildlife. Survivor America has used him extensively for all their underwater beauty shots and opening scenes.
