SIMONE

Hello, my name is Simone. I am from Austria, currently living in Spain, and I love to explore the world and dive its waters!

Ever since I started diving, I spent every free minute under water and whilst I developed a special passion for cave diving, I also find lots of joy in teaching and sharing my passion and knowledge.
On this website you can find out what I am currently up to and get information on projects I’ve been part of or just find a way to keep in touch.

Feel free to contact me in English / Deutsch / Español / Français / Italiano.
