“Diving, while it is an 'adventure sport', takes people into a calm and quiet environment — there are no phones, no emails, no way for the terrestrial world to contact you. A diver can drift through the water, undisturbed, and enjoy a period of quiet. The only noises are the hiss of exhalations and the munching of parrotfish. Yes, diving is generally a buddy sport, but your buddy has a regulator in his mouth and can’t talk”

Christelle is a keen diver herself. Christelle qualified as a PADI Open Water diver in 2018 after falling in love with diving as soon as she explored the underwater world. Christelle compares the experience to flying and she enjoys feeling like she is part of the marine life. “It feels like everything moves slower underwater compared to the rat race we are living in. A place to relax and meditate”.
Christelle has dived in the Inhaca Island Marine reserve in Mozambique and Hvar, Croatia. She cannot wait to be immersed in saltwater on her next dive trip. Christelle is working towards her PADI Advanced Diver qualification and speaks English, Afrikaans and German.
