MEET YOUR COURSE DIRECTORS
Hélène
Originally from France, I started scuba diving at 13 in the local pool. I learnt to dive with one of those famous J-valves!
My first open water dives were in a cold green river in France and I wasn't super enthusiastic about the whole thing. That was until I discovered tropical diving on my first trip in Asia a few years later and I was suddenly hooked.
During my twenties, I got certified up to Divemaster, but did not work full time as a dive professional straight away. Although pretty much every single holiday or trip was about diving!
During my first trip to Bali in 2011, I fell in love with the small island of Nusa Lembongan and the marine life around it. I moved there shortly after, where I took my PADI Instructor course and started working as a dive instructor straight after completing my PADI IDC.
Three years later, I got accepted into the selective Course Director training. I then went onto working for a big PADI IDC Centre in Bali and ran a successful professional program there for a couple of years, while also supervising Divemaster training.
Meanwhile, I had already met my friend and soon-to-be business partner Julia while volunteering for Trash Hero, and in 2019 together we opened Purple Dive Penida.
I love teaching dive professionals and I have now done hundreds of dive pro certifications. When I am not teaching or busy running the dive centre, I enjoy macro underwater photography, drift dives, and I love to travel around Indonesia to discover new dive spots!
Originally from Singapore, I discovered Scuba diving in 2013 and quickly fell in love with it. Giving up my original career plans of being an Auditor (bit more boring, I know!), I went down the career path of becoming a Scuba Instructor in 2015 in Nusa Lembongan, Bali, which was also where I met Helene, my future employer.
After gaining years of experience in the challenging dive conditions of the Nusa island area and certifying a couple hundred students, I first joined Purple Dive as Dive Manager and overseeing Divemaster training. In 2022, I decided to focus more on Instructor training under the mentorship of Helene. This was where I found out that I enjoy tremendously mentoring dive professionals and sharing my wealth of experience and knowledge.
In 2023 I got accepted into the PADI Course Director Training which means I am now able to conduct IDCs independently. I am able to offer language support in English, Chinese and Indonesian. When I am not running IDCs, you may find me busy enjoying other activities like sidemount diving, dive Photography and working out!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THEIR IDC WITH US
JOHN, SOUTH AFRICA
My first time ever diving was with Helene. I immediately fell in love with diving and we became good friends. I did my Open Water course with her and enjoyed it so much that I ended up doing all my courses up to PADI Dive Instructor with her.
She is an excellent teacher and a dear friend. I always refer friends to her and can't recommend her enough.
MELISSA, AUSTRALIA
Doing my IDC with Hélène was an absolute breeeeze! She is so highly skilled and made every day super fun and enjoyable. She instilled confidence in each one of us and prepared us above and beyond for every challenge that lay ahead. I couldn't have felt more ready for my IE when the day arrived! I highly, highly recommend Hélène.
JILL, USA
I loved the fun environment that she created whilst teaching us how to be good instructors. She was the perfect balance of compassionate and firm.
The course was challenging (as it should be) but I walked into the IE completely prepared because of Hélène’s dedication to excellence and professionalism.
Once the IE was over, Hélène continued to be a great mentor beyond the classroom, always taking the time to answer industry questions and helping me find employment.
Highly recommend!
