The Marine Life called, and Qasim answered – quite happily.
If we’re talking numbers, about 95% of the ocean is undiscovered by human beings and a bunch of us are curious, to say the least. Qasim is one of those curious ones, backpacking across several countries and exploring the ocean beds amidst his dives.
On this week’s episode, we sat down with Qasim AlSaegh, the youngest scuba diving instructor in Bahrain, to talk about his journey underwater
Qasim has been diving since 2017, at a time when he was looking for a new thing to ‘dive’ into, and that’s when his scuba diving journey began. He worked his way to getting certified dive training, and he’s been diving at several sites across the world – keep in mind, he’s only 20!
