Originally from France, I traded wine for waves and quit my homeland decades ago to chase adventure across vast deserts and colorful coral reefs.
With 15+ years of hands-on experience in diving and camel culture, I bring passion, patience, and a hump-sized dose of fun to every course.
Whether it’s your first breath underwater or you're aiming for pro level, I make your dive journey private, personalized, and truly unforgettable.

Absolutely. Fear is normal — but diving is about trust. I teach 100% private lessons, at your rhythm, with full support. Many of my happiest students were once nervous beginners!
Dahab is a diver’s paradise — calm bays, rich marine life, legendary sites like the Blue Hole. It’s relaxed, authentic, and perfect for all levels. No boats needed, just step in and dive!
Depending on the course, 2 to 4 days is standard. But with me, no rushing — your pace decides. Quality over speed, always.
Absolutely. Fear is natural — and that’s why every session is private and paced just for you. We’ll start in shallow water, build comfort step-by-step, and never rush. With the right guidance and patience, you'll feel confident underwater sooner than you think.
Nope! Diving is more about relaxation and breathing than physical strength. As long as you’re in reasonable health and can swim comfortably, you can dive. I’ll guide you through any required medical checks to make sure everything's good to go.
With proper screening and PADI medical forms, most people can dive. If unsure, just ask — I’ll guide you through every step with full honesty and care.
Every course is fully private. You’re the only focus. No crowded groups, no stress — just you, me, and the sea. It’s diving done right.

Yes! Most divers with vision correction use prescription masks or simply wear soft contact lenses. We’ll talk about the best option for you and even test gear together — no stress, no surprises.
