Dubai resident Peter Davos, already recognized as a PADI Master Scuba Diver, belongs to a select group representing the top 2% of divers globally. Peter has not only fulfilled the requirements for Open, Advanced, and Rescue Diver certifications along with five additional specialization courses but has also achieved 19 Specialty Diver Certifications. His commitment to diving includes specialized courses in marine conservation such as PADI AWARE specialties including Dive Against Debris and Coral Reef Conservation Shark Conversation Specialty.
"Peter's dedication to PADI Aware courses underscores his significant contribution to marine conservation. His involvement is crucial for safeguarding our oceans," remarked Sneha Shetty, PADI Master Instructor and Co-founder of DiveCampus. Peter, who holds Master's Degrees from Oxford and Harvard and is the Founder and CEO of Hale Education Group, emphasizes the importance of education and training in diving. "Since joining DiveCampus, I've gained access to the instructors necessary to become the best diver possible. The quality of training and the depth of knowledge acquired through experience are vital for handling underwater emergencies," he explains.
Beyond recreational diving, Peter has ventured into Tec Diving with his Tec 50 certification, preparing for deep explorations and soon to start Tec Trimix 65 and Tec Sidemount courses. He has also become an enthusiastic freediver. "Peter demonstrated exceptional skills in static breath-hold and depth training during the PADI Freediver Course, showing his natural aptitude for underwater activities," noted Islam Etman, Tec Trimix & Freedive Instructor and Co-founder at DiveCampus.
With the initiation of the Dubai Reef Initiative, the largest marine reef development project globally, involving the deployment of 20,000 reef modules over four years, the diving scene in Dubai is poised for a significant transformation. This initiative will enable divers like Davos to enjoy world-class diving within the UAE, boosting the local popularity of the sport. "I am excited about the continuous opportunity to enhance my underwater skills and am grateful to live in a country where I can explore wrecks and reefs throughout the year," Davos concludes.
