SSI instructor, guide and travel companion.

My fascination with diving began long before my first certification. My father is a diver, and even as a child I was captivated by his stories, images and experiences from beneath the surface. Because I was still too young for my own certification, my journey began with try dives and a great deal of anticipation.

In 2009, in Makadi Bay, Egypt, the moment finally arrived: my first certification turned an early fascination into a lasting part of my life. Over the years, individual holiday dives became a path leading ever deeper into training, guiding and the professional support of divers.

With every diving trip, my desire to learn more and take on responsibility grew. In 2013, in Jandia on Fuerteventura, I became a dive professional, completed my dive guide training and began guiding guests underwater professionally.

From 2019 to 2020, my path led me to Robinson Club Soma Bay in Egypt. There I completed my instructor training and then worked as both instructor and guide. Alongside teaching and guiding, I took responsibility for full-day and half-day dive boats and gained experience with divers, sites and conditions of many different kinds.

Today, these experiences shape my courses, training sessions, travel preparation and personal recommendations. My goal is not simply to deliver one course, but to provide reliable support throughout each diver's individual journey.

The Diver Diamond principle connects knowledge, skills, equipment and experience. Real progress does not come from shortcuts, but from developing all four areas together.

In the end, it is not about certifications or numbers. It is about people experiencing extraordinary places, feeling safe and returning home with a smile. If that experience already creates excitement for the next dive or journey, I know I have done my job well.
