A team of highly motivated divers

Veronika Sievers

Started diving in 1999 in the warm and colourful Carribean and then went into the Cenotes in Mexico, lakes in Germany and enjoyed diving wherever she found enough water. Since 2007, she has been discovering the Canary Islands and has been working on four of the seven islands.
La Palma is without any doubt the most beautiful of them, so she decided to settle down here. But she keeps on moving to develop the technical diving part of the center, and finally decided to do the step to become an Instructor Trainer.
Before becoming a dive professional, Vero went to university and did spend many years in social projects.

Angela Schreiter

Angela knew right after her first Try-Dive that she wants to become a Scuba instructor. It took some years and a lot of effort, but like everything she really wants, she did it. Just to find a new project: Settling down in Fuencaliente and become one of the leaders of Punkfish. And here she is, growing every day and making Punkfish her project.

Jonas von Lüpke

Jonas came to Fuencaliente with Sarah for a holiday in the first year - and stayed. Since then, he has been there again and again for longer periods of time, not only learning to dive with us, but then also doing his Divemaster and now his Instructor. In between, he became a master carpenter back in Germany, and now he actually considers the dive centre job to be quite relaxed....

Sarah Frank

Sarah and Jonas showed up with us together, and in the meantime she has also dared to finally become a divemaster. She is now gaining experience with this, because she can't dive every day due to her land job - but as a balance to the PC, a few days of diving every week are just the right thing.

Jens Lindner

Our base photographer and new diving instructor has been with the Punkfishen since his first introductory dive: As Angela's first student, who is now travelling through Europe with little Jens, he couldn't help but stay here. He has since given up his job at an insurance company because diving is simply more cool - but he is still available as a professional photographer.

Werner Fornika

Werner is the one who makes sure our equipment is working. He is around from time to time to repair what needs to be repaired, but not just that - he is a fantastic guide and helps us when we get too busy.
Apart from diving, he does amazing fotos. You find them at Instagram - #werfotografiert.

Dominik Elsässer

With all this telescopes on La Palma, a Dive Center should have an astrophysicist. We found Dominik (or he found us), trained him until he became a fantastic instructor - and when he can't be on La Palma, he does the best online Training and dives in the lakes in Germany.
In real life, he teaches physics at Dortmund University and forms part of the group of the MAGIC Teleskopes - the ones with all this mirrors.

Fabian, Georg und Tommy

Fabian and Georg are Veronikas brothers, and spend a good part of their holidays on La Palma. As they are a bit short, we adopted a third one, Tommy - what ever we break, he can repair it. And is big enough to reach everything without climbing up ladders.
