Basic Side Mount Full Cave Instructor
ORIGINALLY FROM PARIS ARTHUR IS THE CO-OWNER OF ELITE DIVERS INTERNATIONAL IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN MEXICO.
As his father before him Arthur started his diving experience as a kid when he was 14 years old in the French Riviera in the South of France where he’d spend his summer holidays and got certified as a CMAS 1st Star Diver.
In 2010 he left his home country for Australia where he would travel and dive all around the wonders of this beautiful land which only grew his passion for diving even stronger.
After graduating his Bachelor at University in Australia he decided to follow his heart and became an Instructor in 2013 in Thailand where he’d discover the Razor Sidemount system. Convinced by the concept he would continue his training as to become Sidemount Instructor and Tec Sidemount Diver. He then lived in Dubai as a Freelance Instructor for 2 years and returned to Australia for a short while to become a Commercial Pearl Diver.
Four years after first hearing about cave diving in Thailand he finally decided to come to Mexico to complete his cave trainings with Razor Instructors exclusively and fell in love with the Cenotes.
Even though he had been diving Sidemount for a while he decided to start from scratch by completing a Basic Sidemount Cave course with Steve Bogaerts which finally convinced him Razor and Go Sidemount was aligned with his vision to teach proper techniques right from the start.
Arthur loves to share his passion with his students and is committed to their success and safety as much as the conservation of the underwater world.
As a strong advocate for the system and procedures becoming a Razor Instructor seemed the proper way to provide high quality Sidemount training with the crucial essential skills to build on right from the beginning and to sharpen and expand knowledge of already experienced divers.
