Sayed is one of the longest-serving members of the PAZOLA family. Despite the length of time with us, he still has the same youthful exuberance as the first Egyptian dive safari he led in 2007! Now heading up the team in Egypt, you’ll meet him on all our safaris to that area. A man you can count on in any situation, always calm, always professional. Very conscious of diver welfare underwater and very experienced - over 15,000 Red Sea dives. He’s visited every reef over 100 times! Sayed is a happy father of three children :)

Hamada has almost worked with us for as long as Sayed, and you’ll find him on nearly all our Egyptian safaris. A gentle character and a mature diver often sought out by beginners. Well renowned for his care and concern underwater. A laid-back guy, nothing’s a problem, always willing to help. Hamada is a man you want around both above and below water!

I was born into a family of yak farmers and my childhood memories are filled with magnificent mountains, furry animals, and wonderful nature, but also hard work, and the cold. I always knew I wanted to combine my life with tourism, so at the age of 16, I began work caring for horses as a trekking assistant. After graduating from school, I became a licensed English-speaking guide in the Kingdom of Bhutan. I take great pleasure in showing visitors the beauty of my country and bringing its culture and history closer. I have great respect for my homeland which has made me who I am. I’m proud of being Bhutanese and you too will fall in love with our wonderful Kingdom. Come visit! From PAZOLA.com: Sonam is our Bhutanese star. He has exceptional knowledge of his country, is caring, level-headed and calm. Always faces challenges with a smile on his face. Our clients invariably come back from Bhutan delighted with his service!

Comfortable finding his way around a kitchen, he is forever searching for new flavours and culinary inspiration from the farthest corners of the earth. With pleasure will roll up his sleeves and cook up a feast for everyone! Favourite dish - fried stonefish, feels best - in the Raja Ampat Islands, hobby - a passionate motorcyclist who loves the wind in his hair. Michał's philosophy in life can be summed up: I can't do it? Hold my drink, I'll show you!

A glass half full man, with a beaming smile!

Dom has started his scuba diving adventure in the cold waters of the Baltic Sea at an early age of nine. Nowadays, he is a global nomad who enjoys soaking up the sun, exploring new destinations and diving whenever it is possible. On the never-ending quest for the unknown, the different, and the untouched. Travel professional with over two decades of experience within the airlines and tour operating industry. His passion for travel and underwater explorations, as well as a constant drive to promote his beloved sport, landed him as a partner at a Copenhagen based publisher of scuba diving magazines. Dom feels at home almost everywhere as he has spent a vast amount of time travelling the world. So far, he has visited over seventy countries and territories, and became an expert on diving in South East Asia and the Far East where he has made his previous, longer than usual “stopovers”. Just recently he has decided to settle down in Aqaba, the sunniest corner of the Red Sea.
His guilty pleasures involve a good book, world cinema and strolling side streets and dark alleys of big cities with his camera.
Bump into him somewhere out there... under the sun, out in the sea, on a boat, or most likely - just underneath it!
