Diego Melas
I have been on the sea for over 30 years.
My job as a pleasure boat captain is gratifying because it allows me to share my love of the sea on the water with others.
It was a pleasure for me to realize this site. This is my attempt to make teaching a modern and friendly job with ancient methods by keeping up to date with today’s world. I am open to suggestions, criticism and more, for improving teaching/learning.
I hope to become a point of reference for future generations and a refresher for the elderly.
