Dive
Leader on Baani Explorer: Hussen
Padi Instructor and Cruise Director
There aren¡ät too
many people around who have the experience, skills and personality
to make a safari boat really work, so we are happy we were able
to recruit Hussen before the competition could get their hands
on him! Hussen has been a diving instructor for almost ten years
and he is known for his understanding of aquatic life and the
movement of the notoriously unpredictable currents in the Maldives.
Water seems to be his second home: when he is not diving Hussen
likes to do surfing and windsurfing. For Hussen it is a privilege
to be able to explore the Maldivian reefs and he is always keen
to check out new dive sites and travel to remote atolls, which
is why he prefers working on a liveaboard instead of an island
resort. Baani Explorer guests have a high return rate, which
shows that Hussen has managed to create the kind of atmosphere
onboard that turns a holiday into a life-time experience.
Hussen¡äs scuba philosophy: ¡°I would like the guests to be
aware that diving is experiencing nature first hand ¨C there
is no hotline to call for ordering sharks or mantas or ribbon
eels! Nobody can promise a particular sighting to 100% but I
will take our guests to the best and most well known dive sites
in the Maldives. Every dive site and every atoll has its own
mood and unique characteristics and each and every dive is different
and varies from one time to the next. There is always something
to see - take pleasure in whatever it is, however big or small!¡±
