About Me
" Living the dream and no longer dreaming the life."
-Christian Hamaoui
Living the Dream
And no longer dreaming the life
Born and raised in Montreal, I left Canada behind in search of a new life and exciting career in scuba diving. I was always fascinated with the Philippines to the point it became an obsession. Finally, after three long years of study, destiny called for a leap of faith and I relocated to this beautiful country.
I now reside in Boracay, Island Paradise. A new chapter in my life has just begun, and I'm now living the dream and no longer dreaming the life.
PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
I may have been - born in the water, but I was - raised up in the sky!
As a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating, I am continuously thriving to better myself. With nine specialty instructor certifications including Deep Diver, Drift Diver, Enriched Air Diver, Wreck Diver and Underwater Digital Photography and Videography I have an edge on services I can provide for you.
I am certified to teach the entire range of PADI courses in recreational diving from Bubblemaker to Master Scuba Diver, including Emergency First Response and Rescue Diver. For those wishing to go Pro, I can also teach the entire Divemaster course. I'm already setting my sights on continuing my education in order to obtain my next certification level, IDC Staff Instructor. I am fluent in both English and French and can therefore attend to a wide range of clients.
I also offer a wide range of products and services in regards to both, photography and videography. Have a look at my media gallery which include some pictures I've taken around the Boracay dive sites and movies I shot of a dive site mapping project for a Divemaster in training.
Note: Prior to my diving career I was an acomplished web designer with over over a decade of experience in the field. Who else would be better suited to understand and fulfill your web design needs other than a professional scuba diver? In addition to this site, here are some recent examples of my work:
