PADI Course Directors
Jillian Healey
Course Director and Sharm Operations ManagerYou will find Jilly in our Sharm El Sheikh dive Centre but if you have been diving in Sharm for many years you will have probably bumped into Jilly at sometime or another. Jilly’s ties with Egypt predates her diving career when her mother lived in Egypt as a young child. With over 25 years of experience working in the Sharm El Sheikh diving industry, Jilly , a Course Director since 2009 is also a TDI Trimix Diver and IANTD Trimix Cave. Since 2009 Jilly has overseen many IDCs and IE candidates, some of which have gone on to become Course Directors themselves. Jilly is known for her strict adherence to PADI standards and for her in depth knowledge of scuba diving. She enjoys teaching and will quite happily sit down with any student to explain the theory of diving or tips on buoyancy. When you sign up for an IDC at Circle Divers you too can benefit from the professionalism Jilly brings to our diving center. Jilly is an integral part of our Circle Divers operation and continues to contribute to the high standards of our diving community.
Andreas Fuchs
Course Director and Dahab Dive Centre ManagerBefore embarking on his scuba diving adventure, Andreas (Andi) our Course Director in Dahab worked for many years as a lawyer in his native Germany. Andi brings the same professionalism to diver training and education he nurtured as a coach, trainer and mentor to many of the next generation of German lawyers, law clerks and auditor. Swapping the hassle of the Criminal Courts for the peace and beauty of the Red Sea, Andi is passionate about giving back to diving in his continuing education of diving students of all levels. A PADI Course Director since 2021, Andi is one of the more recent CDs and was actually trained by the people who designed the Instructor Development Course as it is today. Committed to spreading the values of a safe diving industry and compliance with all PADI standards, Andi has successfully trained many dive professionals to Instructor level over the past few years. Circle Divers are extremely happy to have Andi on board as one of our valued Course Directors.
