Daniel

Daniel discovered his passion for diving here in Cyprus at the age of 19. Since 2020, when he took over the Cyprus Diving Centre together with Tamara, he has dedicated himself primarily to professional diving training.

As an experienced PADI Staff Instructor and accomplished technical diver, he is dedicated to training the diving professionals of tomorrow.

 

His commitment to the underwater world is also evident in his role as initiator of the Xenios marine conservation project. By spring 2026, he is pursuing his next big goal: to achieve the highest PADI training level and become a PADI Course Director.

As an MSDT, she loves accompanying people on their journey to discover the fascination of diving and develop further. Technical diving is a personal passion and hobby for her.

Ramin

Ramin is the manager of the Cyprus Diving Centre and embodies the typical, relaxed diver type. He gained most of his experience as a diving instructor in Mexico, where he has built up incredible knowledge through countless dives.

With his calm and extremely patient manner, he not only always has an overview as an experienced diving instructor, but also organizes all diving trips with passion.

 

Ramin loves to travel the world, but the underwater world is his greatest passion – one in which, thanks to his experience, he always finds the right place for everyone.

Ben began his career with us in 2024 by completing his Divemaster course and then his internship. After this intensive period, he moved to Honduras, where he successfully completed his PADI IDC over the winter. He's back with the team for the 2025 season as a fully-fledged PADI Instructor and passionate Tec Diver.

Angi

Angi first got to know us in 2023 as a customer before completing her PADI Divemaster course in Bali. She then gained her initial experience as a dive instructor in Switzerland. Finding it not quite cold enough there, she spent a full season as a dive guide on an expedition cruise in Antarctica.

​

Missing the warmth, she returned to us in Cyprus and successfully completed her PADI IDC course with us. Now, as a qualified PADI Dive Instructor, she enriches our team with her international experience and infectious enthusiasm for diving.
