In this wonderful video from Salty Blue Scuba, PADI® Instructor John A. El Khoury shares his thoughts and passion about scuba diving, a lifestyle he describes as rooted in our history of adventure and discovery. He shares how he has been inspired, supported and enriched with knowledge by those around him, from his first PADI Instructor to his PADI Course Director during his journey to becoming a PADI Professional, and his wife – a lifelong buddy and soulmate.
John’s interview also urges future generations to protect the ocean planet, a place he calls ‘Earth’s final frontier’ and where we are lucky to observe marine life in their natural habitat. His words send a powerful message about making the most out of life:
“Each and every one of us will each a place where you will realise that the few years you have living on this planet are very precious just to spend worrying about how much money I make, or where I need to go work. Go out and explore. Get to know nature – not just on a scuba diving level; let nature take you to places where you are outside your comfort zone.” – John A. El Khoury
