Dive into Adventure with Ar_Yo_Divin_?
The world of diving is full of wonder, and you need the right guide by your side. With experience working alongside top instructors in Thailand and the biggest names in Okinawa, I am here to help you learn, improve, and dive with confidence. Clear waters await you!
🌍 Languages Spoken: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and conversational Japanese.
My Journey:
-
2008: Started with professional commercial diver training at Divers University (Santos).
-
2009–2010: Completed Open Water, Advanced, and Rescue Diver courses in Thailand.
-
2012: Certified as a Divemaster in Thailand and moved to Japan.
-
The Okinawa Connection: After diving all over mainland Japan (Osezaki, Kushimoto, Shirahama), I fell in love with Okinawa. My wife and I spent every holiday here until moving permanently in 2020.
-
Today: Despite Covid delays in 2021, I achieved my dream of becoming an Instructor. I am ready to share Okinawa's breathtaking waters with you!
My Professional Pledge & Philosophy
As your instructor, my mission goes beyond just handing out a certification card. I live and teach by a strict code of professional ethics, built upon the core values of global safety, ecological preservation, and total diver confidence.
When you train with Ar_Yo_Divin_?, I pledge to uphold these four pillars of excellence:
1. Safety Through Mastery
I do not believe in rushing through skills. Following the core SSI philosophy of "Comfort through Repetition," I am committed to giving you the time and space needed to build true muscle memory. We practice until your skills become second nature, ensuring you are relaxed, confident, and safe on every single dive.
2. The Diver Diamond Approach
True independence underwater requires balance. I pledge to thoroughly develop your dive profile through the four essential components of the SSI Diver Diamond:
-
Knowledge: Replacing fear with deep underwater awareness.
-
Skills: Building instinctive safety habits.
-
Equipment: Ensuring your gear fits perfectly and functions flawlessly.
-
Experience: Expanding your limits safely, one dive at a time.
3. Guardianship of the Oceans
The underwater world is a privilege to visit, not a right. I proudly run a Blue Oceans sustainable dive operation. I pledge to teach you perfect buoyancy control, responsible marine life interaction, and active eco-awareness so that our presence leaves Okinawa’s reefs completely untouched.
4. Direct Accountability
I hold myself to the highest standards of the Responsible Diver Code. I will always dive within my training, prioritize your physical and mental well-being, maintain flawless equipment, and exercise conservative, professional judgment in the water.
"My ultimate goal is not just to teach you how to dive, but to mold you into a competent, environmentally conscious, and fiercely independent explorer of the deep."
"You don't need more Motivation. You need Discipline"
Wendell Carvalho

Is scuba diving safe?
A very common question, especially in the case of those who are going to do the baptism dive (for the first time) is whether the underwater sport is safe. Absolutely, yes, you can dive into the ocean in complete safety and without fear, provided that you are accompanied by a certified recreational diver.
Do I need to know how to swim to dive with Ar_Yo_Divin_??
Did you know that many water sports don't require you to know how to swim? This is a question, by the way, very common when we think about diving in the sea: Do I need to know how to swim to dive?
Knowing how to swim is not a requirement for recreational scuba diving. Even if you are a few meters underwater, you don't need to know how to swim to dive.
In diving, a people breathe underwater, as they have a compressed air cylinder and a respirator. So don't worry you won't drown. 😉 As you are now aware, this “I need to know how to swim to dive” question is a myth . In water, when you're diving, what matters is buoyancy, which you learn in confined water or on the beach in a shallow area.
