Professional.

Adhering with the PADI code of conduct. I exhibit honestly and integrity in my work. I’ll honour the commitments I make to you and to PADI. PADI is the world’s leading scuba diver training organization. With PADI, your dive experiences are endless.

Environmentally Aware.

I have a background in marine biology and am passionate about the ocean. Diving allows us to learn and share this under-explored world with others. I orientate my courses to be low impact and environmentally aware by teaching divers to be aware and do their part for the ocean.

Time Flexible.

You gotta hustle to make it in this world, but it’s important to have a work life balance. To allow for this balance, my courses can be made very time flexible. Many courses also have the option for e-learning for the academic portion, so you can work through them at your own pace.

Knowledgable.

With a BSc in Marine Biology, I understand the importance of the ocean and conservation, and how building connections can help inspire stewardship. I make sure to sprinkle in ocean literacy in everything I do.

Blue Therapy.

Dive in and leave all your worries at the surface. You’ll become mesmerized by the gentle sway of soft coral, enchanted by the eerie beauty of the grey/blue hue of the water and be fascinated with the creatures you may find. Diving can be meditative and therapeutic, let me show you how.
