IVAN LOVES THE OCEAN
Hi, I’m Ivan!
PADI Junior Open Water Diver | Melbourne, Australia
Diving Since Age 8
I started scuba diving when I was just eight years old. I earned my PADI Master Seal Team certification in the warm waters of Thailand, where I fell in love with coral reefs, colourful fish, and the magic of breathing underwater.
This year, I became a PADI Junior Open Water Diver and started diving right here in Melbourne. The water’s much colder and the conditions are tougher—but the marine life is amazing! I’ve seen weedy sea dragons, giant cuttlefish, and so many unique local species. I want more people to know how special Melbourne diving is!

Protecting What I Love
I’ve joined beach clean-ups and microplastics surveys in Thailand, and helped remove marine debris at Wilsons Promontory National Park in Australia. Every small action helps protect the ocean, and I want to do more.

Diving with a Different Brain
I’m neurodivergent—my brain works a little differently, and that makes me me. Diving helps me feel calm, focused, and proud. It’s like entering a peaceful, underwater world where I can be my best self. I also love meeting divers from all around the world and hearing their stories on dive boats!
⸻
Adventure, Stories & Games
I write adventure stories, including one about scuba diving—and I’m building a Roblox scuba diving game where kids can explore the ocean and have fun underwater. My dream is to inspire more kids, especially those like me, to fall in love with the ocean.
