PADI Course Directors
Jillian Healey
PADI Course Director and Sharm Operations Manager
You’ll find Jilly at our Sharm El Sheikh dive centre—and if you’ve been diving in Sharm for years, you’ve probably bumped into her at some point. Jilly’s ties to Egypt predate her diving career: her mother lived here as a child. With more than 25 years of experience in the Sharm El Sheikh diving industry, Jilly—a PADI Course Director since 2009—is also a TDI Trimix Diver and IANTD Trimix Cave Diver. Since 2009, she has overseen many PADI IDCs and supported numerous IE candidates, some of whom have gone on to become Course Directors themselves. Jilly is known for her strict adherence to PADI Standards and her in-depth knowledge of scuba diving. She enjoys teaching and is always happy to sit with any student to explain dive theory or share buoyancy tips. When you sign up for an IDC at Circle Divers, you benefit from the professionalism Jilly brings to our dive centre. Jilly is an integral part of our Circle Divers operation and continues to uphold the high standards of our diving community.

Andreas Fuchs
PADI Course Director – Dahab, Red Sea
Before embarking on his scuba-diving career, Andreas (Andi), our Course Director in Dahab, worked for many years as a lawyer in his native Germany. Andi brings the same professionalism to diver training and education, drawing on his experience as a coach, trainer, and mentor to many in the next generation of German lawyers, law clerks, and auditors. Swapping the hassle of the criminal courts for the peace and beauty of the Red Sea, Andi is passionate about giving back to the diving community through the ongoing education of students at all levels. A PADI Course Director since 2021, he is one of the newer CDs and was trained by members of the team who designed today’s PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC). Committed to safety and full compliance with PADI standards, Andi has successfully trained many dive professionals to PADI Instructor level in recent years. Circle Divers is extremely happy to have Andi on board as one of our valued Course Directors.
