About Me:

I was born in Marseille, south of France and grew up in the French caribbean islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint-Martin. My passion for scuba diving started in the early 90s and I got graduated in 95 as a open water scuba instructor. After fifteen years of teaching recreational divers, I moved to Mexico where I discovered cave diving and sidemount scuba diving. Needless to say that the spark that animated me throughout all these years in the scuba industry just got a boost! I work hard and became a full cave instructor with specialties such as Stage, Sidemount and Advanced Sidemount Stage cave instructor. I am real passionaate about classical sidemount and DIR diving. I ran my own company in Mexico called Essential Scuba Training where I was teaching Cave divers, backmounted and sidemounted ones along with some open water/recreational courses. Exlporing virgin caves in Mexico was the apex of the reward I could get to after working so hard. I really enjoyed every drop of sweat and tick bites that came with looking for new cenotes in the jungle. I was very fortunate to team up with a leading group of explorers where crafts were exchanged from one cave instructor to another. A real community of passionate divers. Then life got me by surprise and I had to move along and away from the caves of Mexico...but not for long, rest assured. I am now based in Dubai and establishing myself as a Sidemount, Tech and Recreational instructor. I met the licensee of UTD here and was convinved to take on the IDC ran by Jeff in March. Here I am, after having looked at UTD way back when they came to Mexico for the first time but at the time, I was not ready :) Thanks for taking the time to read this and contact me if you want to discuss more. I am available for chats, rants and discussion.
