What set the hook? 

Growing up, I was fortunate enough to live near many lakes, where I spent my summers swimming, water skiing, and boating. The love for the water was always a part of me, but it wasn’t until I began SCUBA diving to enjoy vacations in warm-water destinations that my underwater journey truly began.

The moment I experienced hovering, feeling weightless, and seeing a whole new world below the surface, I was instantly hooked. It was a whole new adventure, and I couldn’t get enough of it.

I initially became a SCUBA instructor to work with handicapped individuals, but quickly discovered how much I enjoyed teaching the sport in general. From that moment on, I was dedicated to continuing my education and sharing the wonders of the underwater world with as many people as possible.

Goals: 

My goal is simple: to have everyone experience the beauty of our oceans and the incredible underwater world that lies beneath the surface. Diving opens up a world of wonders, and I want to teach others to explore it safely, comfortably, and confidently.

As an instructor, I focus on developing safe divers who respect the ocean and understand the importance of protecting our marine environment. I believe that by teaching proper techniques and promoting a strong environmental awareness, we can all enjoy the oceans while keeping them healthy for future generations.
