I'm Jim Sinclair, for the past 40 years I have been a professional underwater archaeologist, ocean explorer a shipwreck hunter and more importantly a shipwreck and historic treasure finder.  I have worked across the globe on some of the worlds greatest lost shipwrecks some produced fabulous undersea treasure.  I have presented talks on these adventures at over 500 venues. 

​

I have been featured on National Geographic Documentaries and Discovery Channel Shows, History Channel amoung others.

​

 As a professional speaker I present stunning highlights of these fabulous adventures and amazing finds and show how they relate to key ideas - not only for treasure hunting but across the entire spectrum of business ventures and to life.

​

Through these talks I capture the excitement, the struggle, the passion and achievements of making these great finds and through them I  identify the key traits and concepts that make for success. Whether underwater, in the boardroom or in daily life these concepts and traits are invaluable!

​

I have been on some of the greatest shipwrecks in the world and  been a leader on some of the most successful "treasure hunts" or better yet "treasure recoveries" of modern times. I have given wildly successful presentations nationally and internationally.

​

From the 500 million dollar recovery of my first "big treasure" the fabled Nuestra Senora de Atocha, a Spanish galleon lost in 1622. To the wreck of the Titanic, and so many other of the worlds great shipwrecks, I have been privileged to help recover wondrous treasures around the world.

Throughout these projects and expeditions, certain key qualities and attributes have become indispensable. Some of these are:

​

Leadership - who leads the quest?

Persistence - there will be set backs

Resilience - the ability to keep going 

Accountability - of self and counting on the team

Flexibility - pivot when needed, adapt to new situations 

Collaboration - knowing who to talk to is key
