Greetings and welcome, I am an instructor at The Academy of Diving and Offshore Medicine. I have been a professional diver since 1996 and have worked extensively in both the commercial and recreational industries. I have specialized mainly in salvage, inspection and potable water systems during my career as an inshore diver. I have a deep passion for teaching and love imparting my knowledge and experience to all of my students and to assist in helping each student find a way to harness and develop their own knowledge and experience in diving. I teach a lot on the Class IV and III programs as well as assist on elements of the Class II program and Chamber Operator program. Additionally, I oversee the Class IV, III and II Learner Supervisor programs at the Academy. I also facilitate a lot of online coaching. If you have any questions or confusions about anything you may learn in the content and would like to ask, please feel free to contact me directly through this platform or via my work email at coaches@divingschool.co.za or my work WhatsApp at +27 73 898 7863 (I may be busy in the classroom or underwater but I will respond in time). I look forward to meeting you on your practical development and helping you find the best direction in your chosen career as a commercial diver.
