Diego Melas
I'am on the sea for over 30 years.
My job as a pleasure boat captain is very rewarding because it allows me to share my love of sea on the water with others.
It was a pleasure for me realize this site. This is my attempt to make teaching a modern and friendly job with ancient methods by keeping upto date with today’s world. I am open to suggestions, criticism and more, for improving process of teaching/learning.
