I began my diving journey by completing my SSI Open Water certification in Lanzarote. I then moved to Gozo, Malta, where I earned my Divemaster qualification and worked at Bubbles Dive Centre. During this time, I also obtained certifications in Wreck Diving, Deep Diving, Nitrox, and Technical Diving.

I am also a graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Adventure Education, which has given me the knowledge and skills to work with people and to truly educate them in and about the outdoors. This background extends beyond the technical principles of diving—it encompasses pedagogy, human understanding, and the ability to create safe, engaging, and transformative adventures.

I believe diving is not only about the dive site itself but about understanding people’s needs, limits, and comfort levels. By tailoring teaching methods to each individual, it is possible to create a rewarding environment where learning, reflection, and personal growth take place—even if the underwater conditions do not deliver the expected experience.

For me, diving is a medium that grounds people, offering a deep personal sensation that touches them in ways that make them want to return again and again.
