I am originally from the UK but currently based in Bali Indonesia. I’ve developed a real passion for diving and want to share that passion with others through diver training. I am currently looking for a diving instructor position and willing to take on any associated roles within the diving business; dive preparation, logistics, fun/try dives, dive master/leader, administration tasks. I also have a passion for conservation, if you already have a conservation program I’d love to help run it or have the ambition to make the dive shop more conservation focused & eco-friendly.
