Monty Halls Senior is the Manager - Shark and Coral Conservation (DEEP Facilitator). Monty was born in 1938 and served as a RAF Navigator and Air Traffic Control Officer for 23 years. Thereafter he had a spell with BAE in Saudi Arabia followed by work with SITA, the communications organisation serving the IATA airlines. He then set up his own home-based letting business which he operated as a sole trader for some 10 years. After selling the business, he joined the United Nations to serve in Bosnia supervising the post-war elections. After a brief spell with the Royal Navy at RNAS Yeovilton, he retired and took up an interest in his son's diving and media career. This was the catalyst to an interest in marine conservation.
