He is an expert at putting your voyage together, whatever your expedition consists of, whether it is diving for fun, or filming for natural history programs – "Capt G" is a man with a heaps of local knowledge on the remote islands of the central Pacific.

Just one warning: when "Capt G" starts holding forth on his favorite subject, it is hard to stop him, he is passionate about this stuff!

Background information about "Capt G"

Graham was born in New Zealand, and trained as a National Park Ranger, and then completed his Master of Applied Science at Lincoln University near Christchurch. He has traveled and worked overseas in Alaska, the United Kingdom, Africa, Russia and the Pacific.

He has spent many years at sea in the central Pacific, first aboard his small Sailing Vessel Te Manu (1989-1999) and then aboard the R/V Bounty Bay (2002-2009). His maritime qualifications include the New Zealand Offshore Master and Marine Engineering licences.

Graham completed his Doctorate (in Zoology) at the University of Oxford. His study was on the bird extinctions of the Pitcairn Islands. He has also participated in many other research projects in the Pacific, either doing the research or as charterer for scientists, government officials or film crews. For some of his more recent work see the "Science" drop-down menu in this website.

Graham is married to Ulamila Vakalalabure and they have four children (Chloe, Henry, Jean & Tevita). They live in a beach house in the picturesque village of Vaima'anga on Rarotonga in the Cook Islands.

But a complete metamorphosis into a total "landlubber" is not very likely, as he can be found aboard the S/V Southern Cross on most voyages.
