Szilvia Gogh - Private Scuba Instructor

​Szilvia’s diving accomplishments are numerous, and are listed below. What stands out though, is that she was the first female PADI Course Director in Hungary (2003) and the youngest (at the time) female PADI Course Director in the world.

Since she started diving she has logged 5000+ dives. Since she started teaching she has certified over 1300 divers from beginner to dive professionals including special training for LAPD, Sheriffs and Fire Department.

She was recently inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame and named as a PADI Ambassador.  

For the past 15 years she has volunteered to work with “at-risk” youth in Los Angeles. She does this not only in the water but in classrooms and at career days, inspiring these kids to reach for their dreams, as she has done. 

Szilvia Gogh started diving as soon as she was old enough to get certified. She spent the first few years of her diving with a dive club that was affiliated with the Hungarian Military; BHG Dive Club.

She competed in orienteering diving and have logged over 1000 dives by the time she was old enough to drink alcohol, including Zero Visibility, Search & Recovery, Ice Diving, Cave Diving and Wreck Diving.

Szilvia always knew that she wanted to become a scuba dive instructor, and as soon as she learned English, became a PADI Pro. She logged over 5000 dives in the past 20 years. Szilvia was accepted to the PADI Course Director (it is someone who teaches the teachers) program in 2002. Completing the training in Newport Beach made her to become the youngest female Course Director on the World and till today the only Hungarian Female Course Director.

Currently she lives in Los Angeles, California. She taught some of the LAPD Underwater Dive Team leaders, Fire Fighters and Sheriffs, worked with celebrities, does stunts and water safety on movie/photo shoots.

In 2003 Szilvia started her own company, Miss Scuba. Miss Scuba was designed to bring women together from all over the world who share enthusiasm about diving, travel and adventure. Miss Scuba is a culture of its own;  an expression of free will, untamed souls, a rebellion against mediocrity and the yearning for finding adventure and excitement in life.

Szilvia has an incredible passion and drive and this is what has motivated her to pay in forward and give back. For the past 15 years she has volunteered to work with “at-risk” youth in Los Angeles - with the A Chance for Children Foundation. Not once or twice -- but continuously for the past 15 years. And, she brings others on board to help and share this passion. She does this not only in the water but in classrooms and at career days, inspiring these kids to reach for their dreams, as she has done.
