I enlisted in a Scuba instructor course.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When I was certified I was thrilled and quickly did my stage, and shortly after \u201cjumped into deep water\u201d (literally), and started to teach diving on regular basis.<br \/>\nI certified over 300 students in the Open Water, Advanced Open water and Nitrox Divers programs. I extended my specialty to Breath Hold Diving (Apena Diving), and I am also a TRIMIX Diver.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To all the readers: I hope that you would learn to love the sea as much I do and do it as much as you can. Also I hope that while doing so, you\u2019ll respect the sea God Neptune, and consider the environment and above all dive <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>SAFELY<\/strong><\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1998, when I was 18, I became a certified Advance Open Water diver.
