Ali
Teacher
Ali returned to Cheshire in the UK in 2017 after 28 years working in Brazil. Previously she was based and working from a small fishing village, Maracaípe, in the state of Pernambuco.
Academically qualified as an Underwater photographer in Plymouth, Devon and PADI Professional (Divemaster), she used these abilities in network communications, art and water therapy initiatives with children and young people and in defending the coral reef, & mangrove environments along with a passion for threatened species such a Sharks, Seahorses and Marine Turtles.
Now in 2023 being able to train as a Swimming Teacher is something that’s been a long term desire and with Puddle Ducks she has this wonderful opportunity to inspire a new generation to respect and love being in the water. Such an important life skill with so many great health benefits, it’s certainly something she wants to dedicate time and work hard to in order to deliver fun and excellent teaching sessions.
