Patrick Tschanz

Patrick is a part time instructor for us and juggles family life back home in Switzerland. Usually he spends a few month at Protec Sardinia per year.

Travelling and discovering the world is his passion and during a several month journey through Australia he just couldn’t refuse travelling up the east coast of the continent where he experienced his first encounters with the wonders of the underwater world. His fascination for diving though did not develop until his later journeys to Thailand, Greece, Indonesia, Est-Timor, the Red Sea etc. His fascination slowly grew into a passion. After a 6 months training period as a Divemaster in East Timor and Indonesia, his passion brought him to Sardinia where he discovered technical and cave diving.

Patrick is since 2007 a fix part of the Protec team. The first two years he spended the hole season in Cala Gonone. Since 2009 he is father and works as a part time instructor for Protec Sardinia. He can train students up to a Intro To Cave level.

His main job is in the event business. Every year he helps to arrange a big music festival in switzerland.
