Diving is what I love to do &
teaching people is something that has always appealed to me. As
a PADI Open Water Dive Instructor I strive to educate people about
how they should act underwater & take them on tours that they
will never forget. My specialty instructor certificates allow me
to teach extra courses above the divemaster level which allow a
dive operation to offer more courses. In life & especially diving
change is a constant. You have to constantly be willing to learn
new specialties & explore new environments. Challenges &
change are 2 things I welcome because handling new situations is
what makes us better people & divers.
Diving is something I do because it is fun. I love seeing new animals,
coral, ship wrecks, really anything underwater. While traveling
I work as a PADI Diving Instructor, but when underwater it doesn't
seem like work. I have been in the business world for 8 years &
traveled the world. There are other skills I bring to the table
due to my past experiences. As a computer programmer & web site
developer I have knowledge that every company needs in today's world,
diving related or not. As a business owner I know how to get things
done, how to treat customers & have an ability to anticipate
needs. Lastly, I have extensive sales experience & customer
relationship building experience.
Foreign language learning is a skill
that I am developing. Currently, I know survival Spanish & am
working to improve my very basic German & Japanese. If you need
me to learn for your company I would strive to learn the language
you need.
When I worked as a divemaster in Koh Phi Phi (a great small island
of about 4000 people) I took people diving from all over the world.
The common thing with them is that they left with a smile on there
face after my underwater tour. Plus several of them came back for
more diving the next day!
Diver's Down/Cayman Diving College has provided me quite a broad
range of experience including handling single engine, multiple engine
& jet boats (I am still a novice though), filling air tanks & running
the air truck which fills tanks for several area companies, guiding
dives (already had extensive experience in this area), running resort/DSD
courses (in the pool, from the shore & from a boat), running all
sections of the Open Water course multiple times, Refresher, EFR,
Rescue Diver & divemaster courses. I also have been encouraging
people to try "Learn to Dive for Free" courses, where we then try
to convert those people into customers for DSD or Open Water Courses.
