Adolpho Pousa
Hello! My name is Adolpho.
​
I'm a diving instructor and one of the founders of West Diver!
​
I've always been passionate about the sea! I grew up in it... I hope I can contribute to giving you the best underwater experience of your life!
My story
I am the son of a Rio de Janeiro Fire Department diver, and thanks to that, I grew up by the beach. Seriously! Almost all my childhood memories and a significant part of my adolescence are by the beach. I've always been passionate about the sea... it generates incredible feelings in me.
​
I've always surfed, swam, and dived... This sparked a huge fascination with nature in me. Combining this with my curiosity, and a bit of madness, I pursued a degree in Physics. I wanted to find answers to understand the reasons behind natural phenomena. And honestly, this path I took led me directly back to where I belong: the sea!
​
Today, I continue to study more and more in the environmental area and improve myself in my great passion: diving. Being able to combine these two sides of my life was essential for me to feel complete.
