Staff
Aleksander Ćwikłowski — Master Diver Instructor, active instructor of the International Diving Federation.
Master Diver Instructor is the International Diving Federation instructor grade awarded after reaching Scuba Diving Instructor and issuing at least 20 certifications. In practice it means an instructor who has not only passed an examination but has trained real cohorts of divers.
We teach mainly in Polish lakes and flooded quarries — water that does not forgive poor buoyancy and does not always reward you with visibility. It is a harder start than a warm sea, but a diver trained in these conditions copes anywhere afterwards.
