About
I’m an SSI Divemaster Instructor with over 1,500 dives and 10 years of experience in hospitality. For the past 4 years I’ve worked on dive boats throughout Southeast Asia, often in remote areas and strong currents, where I gained solid practical experience and a real love for life at sea. Through years of travel and working in different cultures, I’ve learned to adapt quickly, stay calm under pressure, and connect easily with people from all walks of life. I enjoy working as part of a team and always aim to create a positive, safe experience for guests and crew alike.
