Scuba Diving Instructor

Summary

My passion for the ocean inspired me to change my career and become a scuba diving instructor. Five years after my first dive, my enthusiasm remains as strong as ever, and I love sharing this passion with others. In a relatively short period, I advanced from a newly certified scuba diving instructor to a dive center manager, seamlessly combining my love for scuba diving with my previous managerial experience.
