Waking at the crack of dawn, hitting the water to provide breakfast for his family seemed a natural way-of-life, who would have thought the young Rudi from a tidy village in the tropical islands of Fiji would become a Master Instructor with 1000’s of certifications throughout the world. I sometimes wonder if Rudi’s mother had a water berth, or a least an ocean birth. Rudi has been quoted in saying “I don’t float so well” so with that diving it was a very natural step in his long unblemished diving career underwater.

When Rudi first came to Kirra Dive (some 18 years ago) he impressed me with his meticulous point to detail, his systems his passion for continuous educational programs, Open Water is just a license to learn to dive and over the years he has developed some fun programs that are unique and special to every one of his patriotic students.
