About Yvonne

My Kiss Sidewinder journey started in 2021 with a crossover. It was love at first dive. I simply felt like I was diving Sidemount – only silently. I have been a CCR diver since 2016 and a CCR instructor since 2019. During that same year, I started my own diving business, Dark Horizon Diving.  

 

Since those first Sidewinder hours, this has been my main rebreather for diving open ocean sites, wrecks and caves. In January 2023, I started my training to become an instructor. It’s safe to say that this has been one of the most comprehensive instructor training experiences I’ve had to date, finishing on New Year’s Eve 2023!

 

Since then, I added more training hours and am now a Mod 2 Mixed Gas Diluent instructor as well as a  Mod 3 diver on the Sidewinder
