Ben is a Belgium-born technical diving instructor and deep diver who has spent his 30-year career challenging the limits of the possible. A veteran with almost 9,000 dives to his name, he started deep diving in Egypt in his early twenties, passing both the 100- and 200-metre marks there. Moving to Thailand, he acquired hyperbaric board certification and treated hundreds of cases of decompression sickness in the region. Since 2010, he has run his own technical diving school in Phuket. He has set several deep diving records, including one of 239 metres in Thailand’s Sra Keow cave.
