Daniel Kistler, PADI Course Director #417153

Hey, I'm Daniel – but many people just call me "KID". It's a combination of KI from Ki stler and D from Daniel . 😀

I've been diving since I was 19 and turned my hobby into my profession in 2017 when I became a PADI Dive Instructor. Before the underwater office called me, however, I served in the Swiss Army. It was there that I discovered my passion for teaching. Today, I combine this experience with my passion.

As a PADI Course Director, it's very important to me that we have fun during training and diving. Because let's be honest: we have the best job in the world, and enthusiasm is contagious!

"Becoming a diving instructor means more than just diving. You become a voice for the seas, train divers who are committed to protecting the oceans, and bear a great responsibility."
