Mika was a key explorer of Thailand’s Satun underwater cave system, the country’s longest known submerged cave, and is an experienced 3D photogrammetry surveyor and cave mapper.
Mika is especially drawn to mine and cave diving, captivated by the excitement and challenges these overhead environments offer. Yet, his most cherished dives have been with his son, Oliver, sharing unforgettable underwater moments and nurturing a future generation of divers.
At Tech Dive Asia, Mika brings his passion, experience, and explorer’s mindset to every course helping divers push their limits safely while discovering the incredible underwater world of Thailand.
