Tim Morrish - SSI Instructor Certifier

The Scuba GOAT Podcast

Tim Morrish is an Instructor Certifier with Scuba Schools International (SSI). Based in Koh Tao, Thailand, Tim runs the professional training arm of Big Blue Diving and is also part of the management team of the dive centre.
An extremely thorough individual, Tim is very meticulous when it comes to explaining the complexities of our sport which is all too apparent during this interview and is reflective of the successes he has achieved throughout his career, particularly as an Instructor Certifier.
It's taken an absolute age to get him on the show, but at last, he's here. We reflect on how Tim transitioned from mountain bikes into the dive industry, how he ended up in Koh Tao, where the jobs have taken him globally and of course, how our paths crossed and ultimately became great friends.
