Jonathan is an investment strategist by trade, who - having completed his postgraduate studies at the University of Cape Town – took iDiveBlue on full-time. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst candidate and maintains diversified asset portfolios outside of the website.

Prior to Jonathan (or Nate as he is known by iDiveblue's online US following) making the move into internet entrepreneurship, he worked modeling financials for companies across the medical, genetics, and bioscience sectors. While Nate still freelances in financial modeling and as an SEO consultant, his focus is set on iDiveblue and the incredible prospects ahead of her.

Nate is experienced and qualified across watersports, but his interests lie well beyond that. He is a football and rugby union fanatic, as well as a multi-instrumentalist.

Most eminently, Nate has made the trade - a rubber suit for a corporate one... and he does not plan on looking back!

To know the world is to know yourself, but two-thirds of our world is water! We - the brothers of iDiveblue - have seen many of Poseidon’s awe-inspiring, oceanic blessings. Bill - the eldest - is your classic salty seadog. A Civil Engineer by trade, but a thalassophile at heart. He is a well-traveled diver that lived in Florida for two years. Dives have taken him from Mozambique to the Red Sea, from the Bahamas to Cape Town, to the Floridian Keys and beyond. His most organic state underwater is as a freediver, one gifted with an incredible breath-hold. His worldly, waterborne ways have also seen him become an experienced deckhand on superyachts and a well-qualified skipper aboard most vessels. The man has seen everything there is to see below the surface and is always ready to shoot it all... with a GoPro of course.
