I started diving in 1997 when I participated in an underwater photography workshop at the university where I was studying. After that, I was hooked for good. I have never stopped diving since and doing courses for myself. I do participate in cave and wreck explorations in Greece. The last two years, I have also been involved with rebreather diver, and I am in the level of CCR Cave Trimix. I work as a full time TecRec Instructor all over Greece.
Naturally. It was just in the way I feel about diving. Going deeper, staying longer was always my goal, and I am still pursuing it.
Caves are my thing. I do enjoy caving and cave diving. Exploring new caves, or pushing caves further is something I feel nice doing.
The inability to breath without mechanical support was and will always be the greatest challenge. In an overhead environment, there is no space for luck. Being ready to face any problem is the main goal at any time.
Well, being a mature person, with passion, patience and clear goals will make a diver successful.
Push the limits further than what they are ready to face….
I just work all the preparation parts of this dive by myself without trusting anyone else.
Exploring deep caves with the team I belong and working as a team.
Having good quality service in my area…
Someone that has the same goals as me and is able to work in a team as a member.
Find the right reasons and take thing slowly, getting quality training and not just wall certificates.
