About Candidate

Hi
I am a newly qualified SSI Instructor having trained in Gozo in 2024/2025. I have dived many of the fabulous sites in and around Malta/Gozo as a team member guiding divers of all nationalities, German, US, Chinese, Italian, French, etc.
In all I have approximately 150 logged dives.
I would relish the opportunity to join a team that promotes safe and confident diving and one that has a good team spirit and camaraderie.
I have some additional skill that include suit testing, running repairs (changing dump valves repairing BCD’s, tank O rings etc). Also I am RYA Level 2 qualified (boat handling).
I consider myself as hardworking, a team player, I would normally have a 7am start, prepare customers dive kit (Wash down after each dive), fill tanks, load the truck and go diving !
I am someone who quickly bonds with customers and other dive centre team members.

I have 150+ logged dives (UK, Mexico, Gozo and Gran Canaria).
