I met Szilvia Gogh in June 2008 at the Miss Scuba Booth at the Scuba Show in Long Beach, California.  As lady divers, we instantly made a connection.  I quickly discovered Szilvia's energetic personality, passion for diving and enthusiasm for fitness.  It wasn't long afterward that I wrote the Mermaid Workout for the Miss Scuba website at Szilvia's request.  

It was later that I also learned about Szilvia's love of travel, photography, journalism and art.  Her creativity is featured here in her Miss Scuba Jewelry.  I hope you will take the time to become aquainted with Szilvia and especially enjoy her wearable art.

Szilvia Gogh

Szilvia Gogh started scuba diving when she was 13 years old (almost 20 years ago), as a member of a dive club in Budapest, Hungary. As a diver she competed in orienteering diving for several years. Orienteering consists of finding buoys in low visibility lakes with the use of a compass and a distance counting device. It was a long journey from being a competitive orienteering diver in Hungary to become a PADI Course Director. It was an exhilarating accomplishment for her because she was the youngest female Course Director world-wide ever excepted for this highly respected program. She is still the only female Hungarian Course Director.

As a PADI Course Director, and expert in navigating underwater, she serves as a trainer for new divers and for very experienced, such as the LAPD Search & Rescue Dive Instructors.

She spent her summer holidays camping and training by the lakes around Europe. Her formal educational background includes earning a degree in marketing management as well as technical training in jewelry design and goldsmith at the Art Institute in Budapest, Hungary. She also has a Travel Agent licence and just about finishing a Photojournalism program in Pasadena, California.

She became a Scuba Instructor in Malta. Her work as a diving professional has afforded Szilvia the opportunity to travel, and dive, around the world. She have lived and taught scuba diving in Malta, England, Thailand, and currently in Los Angeles.

Szilvia have been in Fiji, Cocos Island, Trinidad and Tobago, Australia, New Zealand, all over Europe and countless other places. She loves to travel off the beaten path to expose herself to anything new and unusual, as she believes this is how one can learn about local cultures and people.

She loves taking pictures of faces and places above and below the water. Capturing a perfect moment in time is especially exhilarating to Szilvia. Besides pictures, she finds crafting jewelry a great way to share her experiences and impressions with others.

Szilvia takes great pride in designing and creating unique, one of a kind jewelry inspired by the ocean and creatures living in it.
