Hey! I’m Karen Burton, a PADI and SSI instructor who has been diving since 2003 🤿. I’ve logged over 3,000 dives and had the privilege of teaching more than 250 students here in Komodo. I love helping people discover the underwater world, build confidence, and experience the magic of breathing underwater for the first time 🌊. Safety is always my top priority, but I also believe diving should be fun, relaxed, and full of adventure. I’m a huge marine life lover, and my favorite encounters are with Napoleon wrasses and octopuses 🐙🐟 — two of the most fascinating creatures on the reef. When I’m not underwater, I enjoy traveling, meeting people from all over the world, and sharing the ocean with others ✈️🌍. For me, diving isn’t just a job — it’s a passion and a way to connect people with the beauty of the sea. 💙

Karen was simply brilliant – we felt we were in good hands right from the start. Her open and cheerful nature is truly infectious. After two days of diving, she even managed to persuade us to go on a third diving trip – it was great fun and we’ll definitely be diving with her again when we’re in Kom...
