Karin is Swiss by nationality and grew up in a small village near Bern. Skiing and Snowboarding before she could walk, she discovered the underwater world on a trip to the great Barrier Reef in Australia where she completed her Open Water Course in 1995. Diving in Swiss mountain lakes never appealed to her so each time she went on holiday to tropical climes she completed her next PADI qualification. On Lake Malawi In 2000 she qualified as a PADI Divemaster during her travels through Africa. Shortly afterwards she found herself in the Galapagos Islands teaching courses whilst gazing at Hammerhead Sharks in the blue. This wasn't the only wild life to catch her eye.....traveling on with Joe to teach diving in some of the most exotic locations on the planet. Managing dive centres in the Red Sea she was able to utilise her business savvy whilst showing up for work in bikini and flip-flops! She rates diving amongst the atolls of the Maldives as some of the best on the planet. Relishing a challenge she is now one of the Directors of Oxygene Cranleigh. A wild life lover she has jumped at the chance to dive with the Seals of Lundy Island. Taking photographs and rebreather diving are her passions. |
| "The underwater world fascinates me. After a few days/weeks of staying dry I'm already looking for an opportunity to jump back in! I teach diving because I hope that every student can gain as much enjoyment out of diving as I do. If I can be a part of someone gaining an appreciation of the wonderful marine life thats out there then I've done my job and I'm happy." |
