Nickname: Rosh / The Octopus Whisperer


Diving since: A loooong time! :)

Working at Aqua Windie's since: Since 2015. 

 

Favorite Specialty to teach: It is too difficult to choose just one! I like the Peak Performance Specialty because it really helps a diver improve their skills and comfort underwater. I like the Wreck Specialty because it is challenging and can give the diver an opportunity to penetrate a wreck!

Favorite dive site on Aruba: Malmok (Tres Trapi), because the're so much to see!

Fish, corals, octopus and turtles.
