Becoming A Scuba Diver
At the tender age of 14, I got the opportunity to become a scuba diver. Ever since then I started my career in scuba diving and teaching people how to do it.
Being underwater opens another world for me consisting of peacefulness, tranquillity, and weightlessness that gives me the space to open my mind for creativity and find solutions for challenges I am facing, or new ideas. Diving is my inspiration.
In the last few years, I got the opportunity to work for National Geographic part-time as a pilot for their cruise ship travel in Belize.
