I first dived with scuba gear in 1995. However, I only started diving regularly in 2008, when I moved to live in Sochi. I enjoy sharing my experience, and my goal is to teach people to dive PROPERLY and SAFELY! I am not a "dry" instructor: I constantly do technical dives, train and improve my skills, conduct master classes, organize trips to popular diving resorts and diving safaris. I teach diving according to the standards of four leading associations: IANTD, NDL, TDI, PADI.

I am also a skipper-instructor and captain-mentor in the project enjoy-sailing.ru.

I first dived with scuba gear in 1993. In 2005 I bought my own scuba gear and started diving in the Black Sea independently and regularly. In 2013 I joined the Black Sea Diving College and completed all available courses. I teach diving according to NDL (National Dive League) standards – a domestic diver certification system recognized worldwide. I enjoy sharing my experience and seeing students gain confidence underwater.

In July 2010 on a wild beach in Sochi, during a snorkeling session, I saw divers, chatted with them, and without thinking twice, I signed up for CMAS 1* training. From that moment, the underwater world became an incredible new world of discovery for me – a real space on Earth. Then I got my 2*, visited Egypt, the Maldives, Turkey, Australia. In 2023, diving turned from a hobby into a profession that I enjoy every dive, and I am happy to share my knowledge and experience with people. I now have over 1000 dives. The first rule of diving is safety and enjoyment, and comfort comes from the skills I teach not only in the pool but also in the open sea. See you underwater!
