Kasper was born and raised in the city of Aalborg in Denmark. From an early age on he was in or around water for all his life. When he was five years old, he became a member of the local swim club and learned how to swim. After a few years of swimming just for fun he took it up a notch and started swimming as a competitive sport. He spend most of his spare time besides school for his training. With his dedication he managed to become a member of the Danish National Team for two years with age 14. Following his Graduation from school in 2001 he started a career as an Automobile Mechanic at Mercedes Benz in 2002. After his apprenticeship in 2006 he was accepted as an employee and continued to work for the company for the years to follow. During this time Kasper always went snorkeling on his vacation travels to enjoy the marine life and what ever else there was to discover beneath the surface close to shore. While being on vacation on Koh Tao, Thailand in 2010 he finally got certified as an Open Water Diver. From this point on he was “hooked” and he felt the urge to return to the island every six months to take advanced scuba classes. In 2013 he took a sabbatical for eight months and moved to Koh Tao for this time to become a Divemaster. It was also in this period when Kasper developed his passion for wreck diving, especially in overhead environments. Inspired by his new dedication he took a Recreational Sidemount Course, followed by TEC 40, TEC 45 and TEC 50 certifications. In September 2013 Kasper returned to Denmark and his old job but realized very soon that he missed diving too much. It was time for a general, bigger change… He quit his job, put his apartment on the market and sold his car to move to Utila Bay Islands, Honduras to become a Scuba Diving Instructor. He continued his training and earned his Certification as a Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) in September 2015. After that Kasper started to work as an Instructor at a local dive shop on Utila. He enjoyed working there very much and gained a lot of experience teaching and diving. Remembering and evening with a good friend on Koh Tao more than two years ago, where the idea of enrolling in a Full Cave Course came up while watching cave diving videos on YouTube, it was finally the right time to make it happen… Still inspired by the amazing videos taken in the Cenotes of the Riviera Maya, Mexico seemed to be the ideal place. The friends investigated further and agreed to take the cave course together with
Cave Diving Training – Mexico in March 2016. Kasper left Utila with the intention of just staying in Mexico for a vacation and returning to the island. Half way through the course he realized that he had fallen in love with the magical Mayan Cenotes and had to stay. He eventually quit his job and stayed in Mexico ever since and enjoys diving at those enchanting places almost every day. Kasper started to work at a resort in Puerto Morelos, mostly conducting cavern tours. During this time Kasper met Toby, a fellow dive instructor with similar interests, like cave diving for example. In the second quarter of 2017 the idea came up to start their own business. Both quit their jobs and put all the effort in the new project. To be continued…
