Hello, everyone! My name is Ash Walker, and I have been passionately involved in the scuba diving industry for over 15 years. My journey began with a PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience in Koh Tao, and from there, I rapidly progressed from a novice diver to a PADI Instructor.

After years of dedication, training, and sharing my love for diving with countless students, I am ready to take the next big step in my career: becoming a PADI Course Director. This prestigious certification will enable me to train the next generation of diving instructors, ensuring the continued growth and safety of our diving community.

However, the journey to becoming a Course Director is not cheap. The PADI Course Director program is a significant investment that has become particularly challenging to gather following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank you for your support and for being part of my journey. Let’s make a positive impact on the diving community together!
