About Darling Divers
The story of Darling Divers is a story of love and passion. Love for the country, its people and the amazing nature. There is something for everyone, Thailand rarely leaves people indifferent.
The founder of the diving center first came to this country 13 years ago, to pursue a career in the diving industry working as an instructor in various parts of Thailand. It was the covid years that put the industry at halt and it was a time to consider future options. Filled with passion for diving and with the help of people who felt the same he finally put the wheels in motion and Darling Divers was born. While the name might be new, the love and passion has only grown. It is with this love and passion Darling Divers would like to give anyone interested in diving activities a chance to experience the underwater world in the most professional, safe and fun way.

Life is a mystery and often surprises us in more ways than one. Being born in this beautiful country I have been blessed to experience what it is like to grow up here, go to school and university, work in different parts of Thailand. I have always been drawn to sporting activities and have run marathons between 1998-2002. While I have become interested in scuba diving only during the recent year completing my OWD, I am on the road of reaching new levels of PADI. My work experience at Aquamaster in 2022 has given me valuable knowledge of diving equipment and the overall industry. I am happy to share my new hobby with my partner and I am dedicated to making Darling Divers a success focusing on Customer Relations, taking care of everyday office work and accounting. I became a Darling Diver, why don’t you?

Diving has been my heart and soul since 2004 when I first became a diver. From the murky waters of Finland to the tropical waters of Thailand I have worked my way to the top of PADI’s professional ladder becoming a Master Instructor in 2016. The 13 years I have worked around Thailand have given me plenty of knowledge of the land, its people and most importantly, the magical waters. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I know it like the back of my hand! I do not cut corners when it comes to safety and I wish everyone to have a fun, relaxed and memorable diving experience. Life is a journey full of adventures, let one of them make you a diver, a Darling Diver

I have always loved water, it is the element where I feel most comfortable. Although it was only in 2008 I discovered scuba diving I have been addicted to it ever since. And who can blame me? It is an amazing world, full of new discoveries on every dive. Slowly but steadily I took one course after another and by now I am a Rescue Diver. While I have not pursued a full professional career I have been lucky enough to gain experience in Estonia, Egypt, Mexico, Cuba, Crete and Thailand. I am privileged to be a member of the Darling Divers team and supporting it in its everyday activities.
I am keen on taking photos and videos and I love to share them with fellow divers and friends.
I dare you to take a chance and discover the wonderful world below the surface with Darling Divers!

Hot sand, crashing waves and the deep blue sea… Who wouldn’t like this to be your office instead of cold, long and dark winters? Nothing comes easy and neither has the road to being a professional diver been without sweat and hard work. Having tried various sports from kickboxing to downhill skiing I have always felt a deep connection to the water, my element, my realm. It was in 2010 that I took my first PADI diving course and it was in 2015 that I became a divemaster. It still took another 7 years to complete the PADI Open Water Instructor course and proudly join the professional Darling Divers team. I am excited to share my knowledge and experience I have gained over the years in Estonia, Egypt, Mexico, Cuba and of course, Thailand.
Let me take you on a fantastic journey to the underwater world and becoming a Darling Diver!
