Diving History
My diving career started when I was 16 years old in the Dominican Republic. Ever since I took my first breaths underwater I was mesmerized by the beauty of the marine environment. I've made the dive industry my career in 1994 when I became a PADI Openwater Scuba Instructor in Australia.
I have worked in the Caribbean, Indonesia, Costa Rica and all along the ribbon reefs on the Great Barrier Reef and the coral sea in Australia. I became a PADI Divemaster in 1992 and an Openwater Scuba Instructor in 1994 here in Australia and worked as a course instructor for many years teaching open water, advanced, rescue and Divemaster programs in Cairns. Over time I became a trip director on live aboard dive vessels and then became a skipper.
As I progressed through my diving career I held positions as international marketing manager, and as Marine Operations Manager. My passion for teaching scuba diving was always there and so I became a PADI Course Director . In 2021 I was awarded the PADI Platinum Course Director status.
I truly love teaching and my years of experience in the dive industry gives a me great foundational knowledge and experience to pass onto my students, not only in diving, but also marine life knowledge, marine conservation as well as business solutions for managing dive companies.
I have made a living from the ocean and it is important to me to give back as well. As part of my IDC programs I donate $50 on behalf of my students back to marine conservation organizations.
