In this article, Sanjay chats with Mike Schwarz about his career and passion for the surveying profession.


Q1. How did you first get involved in marine surveying and what was your route into the profession?


After over 18 years at sea, having served as Master for 6 years, I decided to hang up my sea boots almost twenty years ago. It was a difficult decision. There was the thrill of commanding a ship far from the madding crowd, which I was giving up. There was the beauty of serene sunsets, visiting remote ports, meeting so many different people and a good tax- free salary. But then there were also typhoons, freak waves, pirates and sometimes the feeling that you were being placed in the arena with one or even with both hands tied behind your back.
