About me...

My name is Chris Jordan.... age... 44,

I have spent the last 20 years of my working life in the rat race, how much money can I make, how much can I impress the boss and how quick can I get my next promotion. After a small incident which ended up with a gunshot wound to the head and 14 baseball bat impact marks I decided that maybe a change of direction was in order.

I have, since I left school, been a tyre and exhaust fitter, worked in a riding centre, fitted lifts and conveyors, driven vans, cars and HGV's, worked security, been a Doorman in clubs, a bar manager, scaffolding erector, double glazing salesman, worked in offices and on farms.... after getting into computers I have done desktop support, mobile hardware breakfix, server installations, first line telephone support, and contract installations for people as varied as Tescos to the Crown Prosecution service and banks.

1 Marriage and 3 long term relationships later, leaving a lot of mess and 3 wonderful children  who unfortunately I do not get to see.

Early 2005 I lost the plot completely and decided to give up my cushy, but unappreciated position of Field engineer for a well known IT company, sell my house in Manchester and move down to Dorset temporarily until I was ready to head off on a world trip. During the summer of last year learned to scuba dive, and that has been my passion ever since. The original idea was I would then be able to work around the world as a Divemaster. A dive accident in September put the dampers on that for a while as after spending a few minutes in a helicopter I was deposited in a decompression chamber for 7 and a half hours. I lost 2 months of course work as a result and in Nov 2005 decided to head for Lanzarote to do some intensive diving to catch up. EFR, wreck and rescue diver courses under my belt, it was time to head off.

Trip to New Zealand and Australia followed. Then 6 months in Lanzarote where I finished part of my instructors and then worked in a Dive Centre for 6 months. Now back in the UK trying to get my life back together until I can earn enough to complete what I started.
