Szilvia Gogh

I started scuba diving when I was 13 years old (18 years ago), as a member of a dive club in, in Budapest, Hungary. As a diver I competed in orienteering diving for several years. Orienteering consisted of finding buoys in low visibility lakes with the use of a compass and a distance counting device. As a PADI course director, and expert in navigating underwater, I serve as a trainer for new divers and for very experienced, such as the LAPD Search & Rescue Dive Instructors. I spent my summer holidays camping and training by the lakes around Europe. My educational background includes earning a degree in marketing management as well as technical training in jewelry design and goldsmith in Budapest, Hungary. I became a scuba instructor in Malta and a travel agent in Los Angeles, California. My work as a diving professional has afforded me the opportunity to travel, and dive, around the world. I have lived and taught scuba diving in Malta, England, Thailand, and currently in Los Angeles. I have traveled to Fiji, Cocos Island, Trinidad and Tobago, Australia, New Zealand, all over Europe and countless other places. I love to travel off the beaten path to expose myself to anything new and unusual, as I believe this is how I learn more about local culture and people. I love taking pictures of faces and places above and below the water.
