Ahusan, Dylan and Jennifer, three diving enthusiasts, work as onboard instructors on cruise ships. Each of them is committed to providing an unforgettable experience to divers, whether in the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, or the Pacific Ocean.
Memorable memories
Onboard instructors experience intense moments. Jennifer Gillioz remembers a memorable dive at the border of Eritrea, on the Dahrat Abid site. « One morning, Sébastien (my colleague and partner) went searching for hammerhead sharks at 40m, while I stayed with the divers at 25m. Then we swapped places, and the magic happened. The hammerhead sharks began to rise. The group was incredibly calm. That day, we were in harmony with the sharks! » she recounts. Jennifer, an instructor at Diving Attitude since 2016, enjoyed two great seasons in Sudan in 2018 and 2019.
Originally from Valais, she discovered diving in the Red Sea during a vacation in Hurghada. « I felt an immediate fascination with the marine world. At 18, I decided to settle in Egypt, » she explains. She first worked at Seafari’s booking office while undergoing her diver training. Having become a PADI-SDI instructor, she spent two years on day trips to gain experience before taking to the sea. « The cruises offer a broader playground with the possibility to discover new species and shipwrecks. Sometimes, choosing the sites is a real dilemma because I love everything I see, » adds Jennifer.
