Tim’s business career started off with the Ford Motor Company, The Chrysler Corporation, Fiat SA, and then Volkswagen South Africa. After many years with Volkswagen, Tim decided to open a Volkswagen dealership of his own in the delightful little town of White River, in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, Palm Motors. Whilst working as Dealer Principal of Palm Motors, Tim became involved with Comair, who, at the time, was the only private tour operator allowed to run wildlife safaris into The Kruger National Park. Tim supplied and serviced Comair’s fleet of VW Kombi’s which took guests around The Kruger. Tim had to find time between being Dealer Principal of Palm Motors, husband to Audrey, and a Comair Game Ranger in Kruger. Now he had to divide his time between being Dealer Principal, husband, Game Ranger and Scuba Diver. In 1993, Tim tired of the motor industry, or was it because of a greater love for Nature, Wildlife and the Under Water World, sold Palm Motors and at the tender age of 45 embarked on a sabbatical. He bought a second hand Dodge van in Minneapolis, which he kitted out as a camper and toured the East Coast of the United States. He very soon became a dive master with Sea Dwellers and all his spare time was spend guiding Sea Dwellers divers on dive sites in Pennekamp, off Key Largo, like the well known Statue of Christ and the wrecks of the USCGC Duane and the USCGC Bibb.
