Urs Lips

Urs is another of our full time instructors working the whole season to give training and cave guiding.

He is from the German part of Switzerland and after several years as an instructor in East Africa, Gozo and Malta he joined the Protec team in 2010.

He did his very first dive, 15 years ago, on a cold, snowy November day, in the murky waters of Lake Zurich and since then he has become an active member of the diving community. From a frozen mountain lakes to the caves of Mexico, he has dived it all and after certification as an instructor in 1998, he finally was able to combine his main interests together: travelling and diving. Any Dive Center would be glad to have his linguistic skills as he speaks 6 European languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Portugese, and Italian) and we welcome him to our team and look forward to a very successful collaboration together.
