A Job Excellently Done
Richard has worked on my boat, the Similan Explorer for the past 2 years. During this time he has done an excellent job. Richard has a great attitude with our customers, always helping them when they have questions about their cameras and their photography skills. His photos are great, but that kind of goes without saying!
One of the Best Contributers
Richard has shown great support for the Marine Megafauna Foundation and Manta Matcher over the last year. He regularly uploads Manta Ray ID photographs to our database giving us a much better overview of local Manta Ray populations which then, in turn helps us improve our conservation efforts for Thailand and Myanmar. Richard is one of the leading Thailand contributors to MantaMatcher.org.
