Jason Fox also trained as a combat swimmer, demolitions expert, Special Forces dog handler and jungle survival expert.
He joined the Royal Marines Commandoes in 1992 when he was just 16. In 2001, he joined the Special Boat Service and reached the rank of Sergeant. After 20 years of service, he was medically discharged with PTSD.
He moved into the TV and Film industry, initially using his wealth of experience in the Special Forces to support production crews who were working in environmentally hostile areas, such as the jungle, the arctic or the desert.
It was during this period that Jason was part of the team of divers who found the lost treasure of Captain Kidd – one of the most prolific pirates of the 17th century – just off the coast of Madagascar.
