Apart from her ridiculous fear of Tsunamis, addicted to Star Trek, and being a book worm, Mercedes is the front line to all our customers.
Mercedes is always there to help and be flexible with any of our customer requests. Even if this means booking a Coasteering session in February - Brrrrrr!!!
She is the key to all our operations and she is also our marketing GURU. Moreover, when she is not in the office answering phone calls or dealing with web requests, she is assisting with instructing the sessions.
She has many years of experience as an instructor and worked in Camp America.
She has a BSc Honours Degree in Sport & Exercise Science, she has climbed the Atlas Mountains, went up Mount Snowdon twice, and sleept under the starts in the Sahara desert.

Maleka is our resident fishing expert, known as ‘M’. She is a keen horse rider, sailor and runner to name but a few of the sports
she indulges in and beneath the effervescent persona lies a sci-fi and horror movie fan and expert cook, so feel free to challenge her if you dare!
Her lifetime interest in boating along with her qualifications in first aid and sea survival techniques, make her the perfect crew for our rib trips to Les Minquiers and Ecrehous.

Zoltan is our foreign connection! Active, fit and always up for a good laugh.
When he is not working for Pure Adventure, he is running half-marathons, surfing and getting up to no good with the ladies!!!

Mick is the most qualified skipper for Pure Adventure. He holds a commercially endorsed RYA/MCA Yachmaster Offshore Certificate. What this means is that
he can be in charge of any boat, both power and sail with a grosse tonnage of up to 200 grosse tonnes. Now, just because his certificate
states that he can be in charge of such a craft, does not mean that we would put him in-charge of one!!!
However,he is more than qualified to drive our half-tonne RIB.
Mick is also a keen kayaker and when he is not working in his full time job, he is out playing with boats.

Moreover, he is a keen fisherman and enjoys a sailing his 16" boat.
