I was honoured and delighted to receive the 20-years PADI membership award from regional manager and good friend Andy Auer.

It’s been an amazing journey and I can truely say that becoming a diving instructor has changed my life!

After 20 years of diving and teaching I still enjoy every dive and I still love teaching all levels of PADI programs. Introducing people to the underwater world for the very first time is hugely rewarding but also teaching PADI IDC’s and sharing my experience with aspiring dive professionals and helping them to achieve their goal to become a diving instructor is immensely gratifying.

Let me share a few pictures from my own PADI Instructor Exam and (what must be) one of my first Open Water courses. 2003 With hair and teaching slates.
