He has been diving for almost 20 years now and shows no signs of slowing down—except when it comes to his weight loss. A passionate scuba instructor, he finds pure satisfaction in seeing his students become certified divers. His favourite marine life is the nudibranch, which he fondly calls them the “Pokemon of the underwater world.”

 

He is currently on a journey to level up his skills in technical diving and aspires to become a Course Director one day.

 

When he is not in the water, he enjoys playing volleyball, football, and video games.
