You will meet her in our office, where she will assist you in booking a dive and completing the necessary forms. She will gladly answer all your questions and do her best to meet all your wishes.

Slika Anton

Anton

Anton is a social worker by profession who enjoys working with people. He has a big heart and a lot of patience when teaching them to dive.

In 2020, he took his first dive at our dive center and has been an enthusiastic diver ever since. He has now earned his diving instructor certification.

“What fascinates me most about diving is that there’s always something new to discover underwater – no two dives are the same. My first dive was with ‘Hippocampus’ and since then, the underwater world has captivated me.

Giorgia

Giorgia

Giorgia is our Italian Divemaster Instructor with 9 years of teaching experience. Known as Gio with a sunny smile and positive energy, she makes every dive enjoyable and memorable. Professional and safety-focused, Gio guides divers of all levels with care and confidence. For her, fun and safety always go hand in hand.

Tad

Tough, fearless, and straight to the point, he’s trained in some of the world’s most demanding conditions.
