“When I started diving almost 20 years ago, I was hooked from the moment I took my first breath under water. My passion for diving gave me opportunities to meet amazing people and work with inspirational professionals.
As a PADI Course Director I really enjoy teaching people how to dive and share my passion with them. From beginning divers to experienced professionals, I love teaching them all. With my military and law enforcement background I really get excited when I can teach Rescue and safety courses. I'm also a big fan of the eco friendly courses like the PADI AWARE and Reef Renewal. Just reach out to me and we can navigate through your diving future together.
With Scuba Elite my dream finally came true. Teaching scuba is my passion and there's no better way to do it than opening your dive shop and being involved with the dive community 24/7. By being eco friendly, involved with the future of the local youth and initiatives Scuba Elite will also be contributing to the island.
With over 1400 dives all around the world and experience on Bonaire since 2013 I am the right person to guide you underwater and let you explore all the beauty Bonaire has to offer.
We are really looking forward to meet you, because at Scuba Elite we believe in personal growth. As a person, but for sure as a diver. Let’s connect if you're interested in a personal and tailor made plan to grow, either as a beginner or professional.”
Let’s blow bubbles soon!

“Hi!
My name is Mélina, I'm 21 years old from Switzerland. I'm proud to work as a scuba instructor for Scuba Elite and I feel like it’s gonna be a wonderful adventure.
One of my all-time favorite dive sites on the island is Invisibles, where I've had the opportunity to explore the stunning underwater world and encounter breathtaking marine life. When it's time for a delicious lunch between dives, I often head to my go-to restaurant, Between2Buns for a satisfying meal.
As a scuba instructor, I am passionate about opening a new world to people and sharing my love for the ocean. It's a rewarding feeling to introduce others to the wonders of scuba diving and help them discover the magic beneath the surface.
On my days off, I enjoy taking some time to rest and recharge, catching up with friends, and exploring the beautiful island of Bonaire. Whether it's getting to know the local culture, or simply enjoying the stunning beaches, there's always something to discover and experience on this amazing island.
I feel incredibly fortunate to be living and working in such an inspiring destination, where I can combine my passion for scuba diving with my love for adventure and exploration.
See you soon for some incredible diving!”

“It all started on a holiday in Egypt where I did my first discover scuba dive 10 years ago. Fell in love with diving straight away. The freedom of weightlessness underwater was liberating. Got sucked into the diving world quickly and by now have well over 2000 dives and 8 years experience as a dive instructor.
Over the years I travelled the world as a scuba instructor teaching and guiding in wonderful places like Costa Rica, Indonesia and the Bahamas. However the Caribbean has always had a special place ever since I first started working there on Sint Maarten in 2017. The generally good visibility, low currents and amazing marine life make it the place to be for casual and relaxed diving.
My favorite diving around the island is definitely on the south side. The soft corals there are always a treat. You can convince me to go to either Vista Blue or Salt Pier any day.
Hope to be showing you all sorts of marine creatures soon!”
