Hello,
My name is Georges Gawinowski, I am a professional cave diver instructor. I teach using the methods practiced by our "fathers of cave diving", where time to digest the skills and practice were part of the original cave diving philosophy. My teaching methods are based on repetition, mental preparation, physical and practice. I adapt my skills and my pedagogy to my student's. We all need a different approach to reach our potential as cave divers and trainers. I respect my students and together we are working of being honest and aware of the environment in order to respect the caves and our dive buddies. Today we benefit from the technology to explore and discover. my mission is to help my students to develop their abilities in order for them to plainly enjoy a safer cave diving. I hope you enjoy what you see and you will enjoy your training with me. Thank you for visiting. "You dive like you train" About Georges Gawinowski Georges Gawinowski
