Why Duik met Lex
I’m Lex. I spent around ten years teaching maths before becoming a dive instructor on Koh Tao. The setting changed; the part I enjoy most didn’t: helping something click when it felt difficult at first.
I’m a Dutch PADI Staff Instructor and former mathematics teacher.
Sometimes I’ll teach the course myself; sometimes another qualified PADI professional may teach part or all of it, depending on the course and dates. I’m your main contact either way, and the instructor setup is confirmed before you book.
