Meet your PADI Course Director, Pascal

With nearly two decades of diving experience, Pascal’s journey into the depths began with that very first breath beneath the waves, and he’d been hooked ever since. After years of working in the diving industry, he decided to take the leap and contribute to shaping the next generation of Open Water Scuba Instructors. By becoming a PADI Course Director in 2021, Pascal achieved a significant milestone in his diving career.

According to Pascal, diving has afforded the privilege of not only exploring the wonders of the deep but also connecting with great people and collaborating with inspirational professionals. As a PADI Course Director, there's nothing quite like the joy of imparting the art of diving to others and sharing in their newfound passion.

With a background in military and law enforcement, Pascal finds particular excitement in teaching rescue and safety courses, where preparedness and responsiveness are paramount. His structured way of teaching guides instructor candidates easily towards their prestigious OWSI title.

Last but not least, Pascal and all Scuba Elite staff are real advocates for eco-friendly diving practices and teach courses like PADI AWARE and Reef Renewal often. At the Scuba Elite Academy, we believe in exploring the depths while teaching others the importance of preserving the delicate balance of our marine ecosystems.
