Water has been my favorite element for as long as I can remember. Hardly on my feet, I climbed into every paddling pool, every fountain, I didn't miss a puddle. A mountain lake in Switzerland seemed to be the right place to put an end on splashing around and practice serious moves. Soon after, as a member of the swimming club, every free hour was dedicated to water. My passion for diving was aroused later in the Lake Thun. In Sharm El Sheikh, the underwater paradise opened up to me. Through this love one thing led to another and it was clear to me: The life of diving is just wonderful!

Beat

My passion for diving was awakened at a very early age due to family reasons – when your own father is a diving instructor, you can’t avoid the water. That's how I got my first dives as a child. I was able to complete my first youth diving certification on Elba. Over time, my dives and courses accumulated, so in 2013 I decided to turn my hobby into a profession. I was able to gain experience as a diving instructor on the Red Sea for a total of four years before I moved on to Elba.

Äge

As a real Marelino veteran, I know the diving areas around Elba from years of experience. Even after more than 2000 dives, I am always happy when I can live out my passion for diving and pass on my enthusiasm for the underwater world. To me, sitting comfortably on our roof-deck with friends at the end of a great dive is just as much a highlight as the fascinating underwater world.

Stefan

I have a deep relationship to Elba and MarelinoSub for many years now. However, even nowadays I always discover something new underwater. It's great to share my experience with our guests, our Marelino family. While I am not on the island, I love diving in the lake of Constance or the lake of Walen in Switzerland. True the motto: dive, feel weightless, settle down.

Bene

For as long as I can remember, I've spent my holidays on Elba almost every year. That's how it happened that, at the age of 12, I immersed myself in the underwater world at MarelinoSub thanks to Äge. I completed my OWD and have been completely fascinated by this other world ever since. I have been a guide at MarelinoSub since 2022 and I am happy to be able to show the guests the most beautiful diving spots.

Maria

I did my first introductory dive on Elba together with my brother. In autumn 2021 we completed the OWD at Marelino Sub. What I particularly like about diving is the fauna, the landscape and the silence underwater. It’s diving literally into another world. It’s so fascinating to face a barracuda close-up or get passed by a black wall of a damselfish swarm.

My enthusiasm in diving led me to graduate from several speciality courses. In summer 2024 I decided to become a dive guide at Marelino Sub because I wanted to share and pass on my passion to others.

The diving center in Madonna delle Grazie is close to my heart because of all the people around. At Marelino Sub you always meet warm, funny and curious guests and teammates who immediately involve you and take you into their hearts. The Marelino Family is just wonderful.

Simon

I've been fascinated by diving since I was young. At the age of 12, I happily completed my Open Water Diver's Certificate (OWD) and shortly thereafter discovered the diving paradise on the island of Elba. Since 2008, my wanderlust has brought me back to my second home. In the meantime, I've guided countless dives around the island. I enjoy meeting other divers on every visit, marveling at the underwater world together, and passing on my knowledge in courses.
