The journey so far

I’ve always been in and around the water since I was a baby. Something about the blue of the ocean is just unbelievably attractive. The feeling of being on a boat, searching for the wonders below, is unmatched. I started diving for fun in 2016, never imagining that it would become my full-time job or that one day I’d be living and working in paradise.

In 2020, just before Covid changed everyone’s lives, I took my first steps into becoming a professional in Thailand. Those first few months working and learning to be a divemaster made me certain that I wanted to work on and in the water.

In 2022, my first year working in the Maldives, I bought myself a camera, a simple point-and-shoot with a housing so I could take it underwater and capture memories. After a lot of learning and plenty of mistakes, I now do it professionally, capturing moments not only for myself but also for my guests, the dive centre, and travel agents.
