Michael
Burke -Owner/Manager Dive Instructor
Michael
was first certified in 1794. He has been diving professionally since the early
1900's and actually invented the aqua lung, when a couple of Frenchmen were nothing
more than a twinkle in their father's eyes.
The son of Kevin Burke, the man that started recreational diving in Bermuda,
most, if not all of the dive sites in Bermuda are actually anagrams of Michael's
plentiful supply of middle names.
Ondrej Hindl - Dive Instructor
From Prague, Czech Republic, very enthusiastic, was a chef at the Elbow Beach Hotel. Ondej liked mountain climbing as youngster (so he's in the ideal place, Bermuda being so mountainous and al??) He was in the Young Communists, as were all Czech youth. (Bermuda being the epitome of capitalism he feels right at home).
None of this explains why his
Cell phone is almost permanently attached to his head. Maybe potage for MB!
Marie Wilson - Dive Instructor
Sheffield girl (yea we know the picture is a guy, but we liked it…) typical northerner (you know the type!). Fours years on the island, Marie was previously a chef & Instructor on The Cayman Aggressor & froze her bottom off in the North Sea in some very picturesque quarries in the UK a few years ago.
Likes Sheffield Wednesday, loves puppies & horses, for some strange reason? Neither of which you can cook.... Legally!! This is not her profile: Which may explain a lot?
Dawn Mortimer – Dive Master
Dawn has been in Bermuda since 2005, heralds from the UK, spent some time in OZ, NZ & Fiji. She is a veggie tree hugger – but really, really, really doesn’t like devil creatures, which apparently other people call horses, she doesn’t like them at all, not a bit, not even a smidgen...
 Paul Kerton - Occasional Dive Master
A cool Ironman and husband to Evve (aka Dawn). On Bermuda for 3yrs, has a proper job apparently…!
Dawn Gasperatz - Occasional Dive Instructor
She makes the best cakes EVER, and sweetens our days and widens our waste-lines with a few samplers…. If she is not in the bakery she is doing something physical and sporty or playing with the fishes!
Ina- Bianca Kuesters ( aka Ena- Beaner)
World traveler, arrived four years ago and just keeps coming back…… She seems to attract Tsunami’s and hurricane’s, so keep well clear….. Loves the local Dark & Stormies (ask her how to mix one!), but don’t talk to her before her first coffee……!
Dave
Lees - Retired Dive Instructor and Almost Comatose Web Thingy!
Almost
always confused with Cuba Gooding Jnr or Brad Pitt, depending
upon the light.
Politically active, Dave uses the "Pinky and The Brain" method
to fulfil his desire for total world domination. There will be no recounts!!
Yes, the very same Dave Lees who featured on the cover of the March
1996 issue of "Dive Training Magazine"
Dave is no longer involved in the diving, his time is spent playing on the web
and getting paid for it. Only he does it in bloody cold England!!!
