Stanimir Vuk-Pavlovic "Vuk"
Instructor

As an eight-year old, Vuk saw the first Jacques-Ives Cousteau's movie "The World of Silence." Ever since, he has dreamed of becoming an ocean scientist or mariner. While this dream has not been realized, Vuk has been diving since 1977, starting at a time when many of today's standard equipment and practices did not exist. After having seen the positive life changing affects of diving, Vuk decided to become a scuba instructor in 2005. A decision he does not regret. Vuk believes scuba diving is a life-long opportunity for learning and as a result, still occasionally takes advanced diving courses.
