From an early age, I was drawn to explore the world: solo travels, foreign cultures, and new countries\u2014standing still was never my thing. After more than 17 years in senior HR and project management roles, I consciously chose a new path\u2014to where I am truly happy: by and in the ocean. I have been a passionate diver since 2018 and an SSI Divemaster &amp; Instructor since 2020, with around 1,000 dives under my belt. Safety, structure, and individual care are especially close to my heart\u2014particularly for guests who may feel hesitant or uncertain about diving.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"5\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"5\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">My husband, Ali Shata,<\/b> was born and raised in Egypt by the Mediterranean Sea. He has been diving since 2003 and has been an instructor since 2009. With over 10,000 dives, he brings an immense wealth of experience in all aspects of dive operations. Besides diving, Ali is a passionate cook who has worked in family-run restaurants\u2014his love for the sea is felt in everything he does. His calm demeanor, composure, and sense of humor ensure that our guests always feel safe and well-taken care of.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"6\">We met while working as diving instructors at the same center. We share a fascination for the silence underwater, the sound of one&#8217;s own breath, and the immersion into a world that is greater than anything above the surface.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"6\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"7\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Our Passion Project<\/b> Today, we are building the Extra Divers Lahami Bay diving center together.
