PADI IDC Staff Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2000

Born and raised in Germany, I have been in finance since graduating from high school and came to the US in 2012 to further pursue my banking career.
After more than a decade spent in New York City, the post-pandemic blues made me take a leap of faith away from both large corporate and big city life.
Leaving my comfort zone, I traveled to Utila, Honduras, for my PADI Divemaster training and subsequently started working for the Rainbow Reef family, where I recently completed my PADI OWSI.
I look forward to seeing you in Key Largo and taking you out for some dives!

Snorkel:

Atomic SV-1 Snorkel

The Atomic Aquatics Scupper Valve snorkel design is based on the same principle as the one-way Scupper Valve used in boats. If waves or splashes enter the boat, a one-way rubber flapper located on the deck near the rear of the boat opens to drain the wate...
