What drove you to become a PADI Pro?

My journey to becoming a PADI professional began in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Learning to dive in such an idyllic location ignited a passion in me that I could not ignore:  the vibrant coral reefs, the mesmerizing marine life, the sheer thrill of underwater exploration left me yearning for more. Having spent time continuing my dive education in the #UK with #BespokeScuba (not least completing the Coral Reef Conservation #padiaware specialty), I made it to Master Scuba Diver #MSD #masterscubadiver #scubadiving

During my journey and particulry towards the end of My Rescue Diver course I became determined to further my diving experiences, so I embarked on the DiveMaster program with Bespoke Scuba Diving. #ukdiving #gopro #learntodive



Bespoke Scuba Diving as a #padi 5* IDC centre truly provide the perfect environment for professional development. It is renowned for its comprehensive training programmes led by a team of highly skilled professionals.  The instructors are all experienced divers and passionate educators, committed to nurturing the next generation of dive leaders. I have found that their professionalism and dedication is evident in every aspect of the training, from the meticulous safety protocols to the personalized instruction tailored to each student’s needs. For me this is the ideal place to become a PADI Pro!

The #DiveMaster program is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. It pushed me to refine my skills, broaden my knowledge, and develop a deeper appreciation for the underwater world. The camaraderie among the team and fellow students is unparalleled; we became a close-knit family, supporting each other through every dive, every test, and every triumph.

As I grew more confident and proficient, I realized that I wanted to share this incredible experience with others. The idea of passing on the gift of blowing bubbles to new students exite’s me beyond measure. This led me to embark on the Instructor Development Course (IDC), a decision that would transform my passion into a profession.

Now, as a qualified #PADI Instructor, I have the privilege of introducing others to the wonders of scuba diving. Watching my students take their first breaths underwater, seeing their faces light up with joy and amazement, is incredibly fulfilling. Being able to give the gift of blowing bubbles to others has been the most rewarding part of my journey. Each dive is a new adventure, and I take great pleasure in inspiring and guiding others in exploring the magical underwater world.

I am super proud to be one of the instructional team at Bespoke Scuba now, and having completed my IDC and IE with #PADI #Coursedirector Paul (You can read about my IDC and IE experience here) I am now working towards Master Scuba Diver Trainer #MSDT, continuing my learning whilst sharing with our students!
