A quick bio from Terry Johnson:
“I learned to dive in the eighties in the UK and joined PADI in 2004, after owning and running various dive centres in the UK and overseas. Initially working as a PADI Training and Quality Management (TQM) Consultant and PADI Instructor Examiner, I then moved on to becoming a PADI Regional Manager for Egypt, Eastern Europe and Russia.
I returned to the UK in 2011, where I managed various other territories as a PADI Regional Manager. I have spend the last two years as the PADI Regional Manager for the UK North and am now extremely excited to be moving territories to look after the UK (South) Channel Islands, Ireland, Wales & Portugal.”
