Born in the great white north, Canada eh, raised by Aborigines in Australia and Zulus in Africa, Graeme escaped from a penal colony ship, to the West Indies, via the Arctic! In his former life, he was a storyteller, earning his pints and victuals while sitting atop stone fences and around Celtic hearths. After years of helping develop and run overseas scuba diving operations, land based and liveaboard he moved to rural south Georgia to work on several books with long distance help from fellow Canuck, Torontonian David Vaughan - their first, Tropical & Garden Flower Identification has received international acclaim and multiple awards.
Now operating from home base in south jawjah he, "longs to move, travels, dives, observes, writes, ponders, muses and publishes the word and light according to Graeme Teague".
