Tour director, biologist Tom Goodwin, has overall training and experience in the fields of marine and wildlife biology and graduate studies in environmental education. Tom began his career as a whale-guide in Newfoundland in 1980, where he spent five seasons. He was also involved in studying whales and releasing them from fishing nets in which they were accidentally entrapped, risking his life underwater many times. Captain Goodwin has successfully completed a captain's course and safety training exceeding the requirements of his business. He also contributes to travel guides and national television and radio.
