NUNO PEREIRA
INSTRUCTOR
Passionate about the ocean and marine life, I have been a diving instructor for 15 years. Along the way, I became an instructor of diving instructors and of DDI. It was in Praia City, Cape Verde, where I opened the first diving center in 2008. In 2011, upon my return to Portugal, I fell in love with Cascais and established CASCAISDIVE.
To me, the ocean is a mission. As an instructor, my focus is on raising awareness among students about the need to preserve the environmental well-being of the marine environment, the challenges it faces, and teaching the most responsible practices underwater. My commitment goes beyond transferring knowledge. It is, above all, about connecting people to the ocean through experience and heart.
MARIANA MENDES
INSTRUCTOR
My passion for the ocean is inexplicable. I completed my degree in Tourist Animation, and it was during that period that I experienced my first dive. Over the years, I've honed my skills as a diving instructor mainly along the Portuguese coast, but also in Thailand and the Canary Islands. Beyond a great passion for teaching, I have a profound respect for marine life and ecosystems. It is a privilege to share this unique perspective with others, and I'm grateful for every opportunity to do so.
RUI FAÍSCO
INSTRUCTOR
I have always lived by the sea! I have practiced sailing, free diving, and scuba diving. In 2011, I began collaborating with CASCAISDIVE and have been an instructor at this dive center since 2015. For me, diving is a retreat, a way to recharge from the hurried daily life we lead. In fact, "we can breathe underwater" and marvel at the wonders that the underwater world offers us. My mission is to raise awareness and show our students and anyone who crosses our path the importance of preserving this legacy, promoting environmental consciousness, and above all, teaching how to respect and care for the oceans.
LARRY WHEELER
INSTRUCTOR
I have always loved the water. Coming from the UK, we are surrounded by it! Once I experienced my first dive, I was hooked. I did every course that I could, up to Divemaster.
I lived and dived in Italy for 9 years, and now, live in Portugal, diving as much as I can.
My passion is the sea, and the health of the sea, whenever I get the chance to "clean the ocean", I am there.
I love to share my enthusiasm of the sea with our guests in the dive center.
