Ute started
diving in 1991 during a holiday on Sri Lanka. She
continued with the rest of the courses back home
in Germany, where she started working as PADI Divemaster
in 1994. She gained her instructor level in
April 1995 on
Kuredu/Maldives
and continued working for the same dive center until
1997.
During her career within the diving industry in
Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Croatia, Thailand, Egypt,
Indonesia and the Maldives Ute has successfully
trained more than 1500 divers in all different diving
environments & levels.
She has been living
on Phuket/Thailand for three years (1997-1999) working
for the PADI Carreer Development Center "Dive
Asia" as a training manager. In
the year 2000 she
moved to Lombok/Indonesia to work for "Dream
Divers" running their IDC Center on Gili Trawangan
for another three years as a base leader. As
a Course Director, she
wants to share her extensive training experience
with the new generation of diving instructors.
Since more then
eight years
Ute’s IDCs are very popular due to their relaxed
atmosphere and the high level of professionalism.
Since she still works as an diving instructor between
her IDCs the focus on the “real life”
of an instructor after the IDC/IE is always present
during her programs.
Her friendly, supportive and open way of guiding
people through the course gave her already the respect
of many candidates.
So far already more than 1000 candidates
archieved their instructor level with her.
