Dilara is originally from Turkey and literally grew up in the water. Her childhood was mostly free diving with her father and swimming around reefs with fish. Dilara got her first PADI Certification in 2010 in Datça in south-west Turkey and since then every summer she has worked for dive schools and became a PADI instructor. "Diving is my passion therefore I love teaching scuba and how to respect the ocean while also making new friends and having fun underwater."
