Take a white-knuckle tour around Britain with professional explorer and extreme adventurer, Andy Torbet
After completing a degree in zoology, Andy spent 10 years in the
British Forces as a paratrooper, diver and bomb disposal officer,
including serving with the Airborne Brigade, the Army's Underwater
Bomb Disposal Team and the Maritime Counter Terrorist Group. He was
involved in operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo,
Northern Ireland and the Falklands.
Andy started diving at the age of 12 and has been at it ever since;
on operations in the Forces, on commercial vessels, over sunken
cities, in caves, deep wrecks and across abundant reefs. He has a
long list of technical diving qualifications, including cave,
mixed-gas, rebreather and free-diving as well as his professional
qualifications as a military and commercial diver and
supervisor.
Since growing up in the wilds of Scotland, Andy has always had a
fascination with the natural world. Although his diving has exposed
him to some amazing marine biology he maintains a varied interest
in wildlife, specialising in the evolution and behavioural ecology
of carnivores at University. He's also a highly qualified
mountaineering and climbing instructor, caver, sea-kayaker, boat
operator and extreme sportsman.
Andy is also a regular television presenter, who first appeared on
BBC Scotland. He recently co-presented Operation Iceberg on BBC1 in
the UK and Discovery Channel internationally as well as the most
recent series of Coast.
"Anyone who thinks the UK is tame, think again. Andy proves that adventure can be found literally everywhere, and our own nation can be as hardcore as anywhere on earth." Steve Backshall
