Your instructor to introduce you to freediving or to help you progress
PADI and SDI OWSI, DEJEPS E4, AIDA Instructor
I arrived in 2007 on the island, I first worked in luxury hotels, where I perfected my sense of detail.
Passionate about diving since my first dive at the age of 10, I took advantage of my arrival on Saint Barthelemy to pass all my levels, until becoming a diving instructor.
Sporty, in love with nature and simplicity, I took advantage of a long stay in the south of France to perfect my apnea skills and become an AIDA instructor. I like very much the symbiosis with water that this discipline offers, it is for me a nice complement with scuba diving. It is also a way to progress in other sports, to work on your mental state and to relax.
I would be delighted to accompany you to make bubbles or to discover the universe of the Big Blue…and why not both!
