Ivan C. Guzman
PADI Course Director
​
If you spot a poncho on your feed, chances are you’ve stumbled across the legend himself — Ivan Guzman. A PADI Course Director with decades under his weight belt, Ivan has dived around the world, racking up a vault of experience as vast as the oceans he calls home.
But Ivan isn’t just about ticking off dive sites. He’s known for shaping divers into confident ocean explorers and certifying the next wave of dive professionals. His classroom isn’t just about skills and standards — it’s more like a dance floor. Expect high energy, above-and-beyond fun, and maybe even a few surprise moves (yes, the man’s got some serious hip action).
​
From his iconic poncho style to his knack for making even theory sessions feel like a party, Ivan’s hidden talent is turning serious dive training into an unforgettable experience. Thinking of your IDC in the Philippines? He’s the man you want leading the way.

PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
With over 30 years beneath the surface, Trent is more than just an experienced diver — he’s a true legend of the deep. As an Executive State Manager and a professional PADI Instructor, Trent balances life between boardrooms and the big blue with ease.
​
Trent’s diving journey spans from South Aussie reefs to vibrant global waters, collecting stories and certifications along the way. His passion for teaching is contagious — whether you're just starting or leveling up, Trent’s relaxed style makes diving fun and fearless.
​
Above the surface, he’s a self-proclaimed foodie — always hunting for the best local eats (and planning his dives around them!).
Tony Cui
PADI Staff Instructor
From his very first bubble breath, Tony was captivated — for him, diving is freedom in its purest form, soaring weightless through a kaleidoscope of life and hidden wonders.
​
In his classes, Tony focuses in on mastering ‘hover mode’ — the magic move that turns an average dive into an unforgettable one. Expect quirky underwater challenges, smart skill drills, and plenty of giggles between bubbles.
​
Tony is not just your friendly scuba instructor — he’s also a tech whiz who loves blending the latest gadgets and apps with the diving world. ​
Leon Cai
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
If sunshine had a scuba tank, it would be Leon! Friendly, bubbly, and always ready with a laugh, Leon Cai brings serious good vibes to every dive. He trained all the way from PADI Open Water to Instructor right here in South Australia, so he knows these waters like a true local legend.
​
Leon is a natural with people — speaking multiple languages and connecting with students of all backgrounds. His classes are equal parts safe, educational, and seriously fun. You’ll learn tons, laugh often, and maybe even pick up a hot pot recommendation or two.
​
Oh, and did we mention he’s a Rubik’s Cube pro who can solve one in under 10 seconds? Legend.
Shimin Ou
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
Shimin is the perfect blend of fun and furious — a passionate PADI Instructor who brings energy, precision, and a deep respect for safe diving to every session. With decades in Australia and a true local’s knowledge of our waters, he’s all about helping divers grow with confidence and skill.
​
He might keep things strict when it comes to safety and technique, but don’t be fooled — Shimin’s sense of humor and love for adventure shines through above the surface. A certified accountant, a black belt Judo player (yes, he kicks ass), and a globe-trotter on a mission to find the world’s best "Bakso" soup, he’s anything but ordinary.
​
Dive with Shimin and get ready to learn, laugh, and level up — the ocean’s never been more fun (or safe).
Hayden Hards
PADI Divemaster
Meet Hayden – part fish, part welder, full-time ocean lover. As a certified PADI Divemaster and professional welder, Hayden is just as comfortable underwater as he is with a welding torch in hand. He’s the guy who’ll guide your dive, pull up a ghost net, and still have time to snap the perfect photo of a curious cuttlefish.
​
Hayden’s heart beats for ocean conservation. When he’s not leading dive adventures, you’ll find him deep in clean-up dives, hauling junk from the seabed and doing his bit to keep our waters wild and plastic-free. His underwater photography? Equal parts art and activism—capturing the magic of the marine world while reminding us why it’s worth protecting.
​
He’s also got a not-so-secret superpower: cracking open a homemade "mocktail" for breakfast and still being the most energetic person on the boat.
Tom Boden
PADI Divemaster
An ocean lover, world traveler, and proud owner of some seriously smooth hover skills. He kicked off his professional dive journey in the Caribbean and hasn’t stopped bubbling since. Now based in South Australia, Tom is on his way to becoming a PADI Instructor, chasing his dream one dive at a time (and usually twice a day!).
​
When he's not underwater, you’ll find him in the kitchen — Tom’s a professional chef with multiple awards to his name. Book a dive with him and you might just get lucky with a post-dive meal that tastes straight out of a Michelin kitchen.
​
Whether he’s floating mid-water like a zen master or plating up something delicious, Tom’s all about good vibes, big adventures, and sharing his love for the deep blue.
HaiXia Wen
PADI Divemaster & Freediver Instructor
If you’ve ever seen someone casually sinking into the blue at Port Noarlunga like a sea spirit with zero bubbles and maximum zen—that was probably Haixia.
​
A full-time PADI Freediver Instructor and Divemaster since 2017, she’s got the breath-hold of a dolphin and the flexibility of a rubber band (thank you, yoga). Students say she can hold her breath for a century—we haven’t timed it, but we believe them.
​
When she’s not teaching freediving, she’s coaching people on how to swim like mermaids. Yes, actual mermaids. With tails and flips and everything.
​
Calm, collected, and just a little bit magical, Haixia is the kind of person who makes you wonder if she’s secretly part fish. She probably is.
