Here to help YOU reach your potential.
As I retire from competitive diving, my ambitions have transferred to aiding the development of diving in Jamaica, and hopefully the wider Caribbean. To begin this journey, I am delivering my second Dive With Yona Camp in Kingston this summer straight after the conclusion of Paris 2024. To support this programme and the foundations of a permanent diving presence, I'm seeking investment to fund coach education, facility improvement, and public accessibility. Please donate if you can, or contact me if you would like some more information about my plans and goals.

Why do you do what you do?
Do you have goals and ambitions?
How will you achieve those?
What could you be doing better?
What does ‘success’ look like to you?
These are questions I’ve asked myself on a frequent basis over the past decade as I took on the challenge of becoming a World-Class diver.
During my quest towards perfection in the pool, I’ve been through it all, the highs and the lows, the wins and the losses. Invaluable lessons which I learned the hard way. But 10 years after first pulling on my Jamaican tracksuit, I’m still smiling and embracing the challenge.
I love talking to people, hearing their stories, sharing experiences.
Book a free consultation
It’s important to me that I provide as much value as possible, therefore if you are interested in my coaching, mentoring or speaking services, I would like to offer a free 30 minute consultation, to ensure that my program and my story meets your needs. Furthermore, I believe that the relationship between coach and client is vital to the success of any program, so this is an opportunity for me to get to know you, and for you to get to know me.
