'Real' Images of Our Staff:

BulletMichael Burke -Owner/Manager Dive Instructor

Michael?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.

BulletOndrej Hindl - Dive Instructor

OndrejOndrej likes horses in the salami the most, however he has perplexed us all by recently taking to wearing a cowboy hat whilst driving the boat.  He claims it is something to do with keeping sunshine of his face… we all know he is just regressing back to child hood fantasies….. 

He does swap his cool-dude hat for a scuba unit on occasions (when the water is warm enough for him…) as an instructor and he has somehow been allowed to stay on the island for the past six years.  Ohhh and he is a chief - err I mean chef…

BulletIna- Bianca Kuesters ( aka Ena- Beaner)

Ina- Bianca KuestersWorld traveler, arrived five 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……!

BulletAlmendra Gonzales Llamos  (aka Ali G) – Instructor

AliAli looks like Megan Fox, and her nick name is Ali G. It can not get any better – can it?

 

 

 

BulletJulio Osorio – Instructor

JulioJulio is our resident superhero.  He battles scuba diving fears, buoyancy issues and the occasional alien attack from both our Elbow Beach and Somerset locations.  In his spare time he watches a multitude of sci-fi movies with his wife Ali.

 

 

BulletDonald Folkard – Dive Master in Training

DonaldDonald is the youngest hero of our crew. Not only does he rescue snorkelers from Portugese-Man-Of_War (jelly fish), but he also puts his life in danger every week by playing a game called Rugby. He is a proud member of the Bermuda Junior National team. Can you find him on the picture?

To dive with him, you need to be in Bermuda before the Rugby Championships, as he tends to get injured during those and cannot dive for a while afterwards.

BulletDrew Gibbons – Instructor

DrewDrew is a Bermudian, raised in the posh part of the island called Tuckers Town. Until recenty, he had never seen a roll down window.  He enjoys making bubbles in the Pool, with our new students and showing them how to make air rings.

BulletDrew Gibbons – Instructor

BriannaBrie comes to Bermuda just for the fresh Sushi. She flies in for a month, dives and teaches every day …. And than goes back to the office in NY. Some call it work, some call it vacation.

BulletVlad, Occasional Dive Master

VladVlad will sky dive into the water and scuba off into the sunset.  He is an adventurer at heart which is why he teaches diving.  Vlad works out regularly but tends to only feed on  Dark & Stormies (Rum & Ginger Beer, very nutritious!).  He is a man’s man, but can be found entertaining the ladies with tricks and laughs before each dive.

 

BulletSeverin Pietri, Occasional Dive Master

Severin PietriSeverin was born in Mexico, however he is Canadian.  He feels and sounds French (which he uses to woo women), but has Corsican parents.  Severin married a lovely Japanese woman and had a child born in Bermuda just recently.  Where does he feel the most at home?  On the BWD dive sites of course.

 

BulletHannah and Chris, Summer Inters/Dive Masters in Training.

 BulletDave Lees - Retired Dive Instructor and Almost Comatose Web Thingy!

DaveAlmost 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!!!
