Since 2011, Andy’s technical skills in everything from cave-diving to mountaineering to skydiving have led him to undertake some of the most challenging adventures for TV and science: freediving with the world’s fastest shark, deep diving on the twin sister of Titanic, skydiving with prototype rockets strapped to his legs, jumping from a high-altitude aircraft at 28,000 feet, diving under icebergs or in lost mines. He recounts highlights from his many shows and adventures, lifting the veil on how some of these stunts were filmed and the science that motivated the idea.
