Nikki Telle started diving in 1999 with the completion of her entry level qualification with NAUI. She became a NAUI dive master in 2000 and soon afterwards completed her NAUI instructor?s course. She'd been training students to dive ever since she'd developed a passion for diving and teaching. She's now responsible for all diver training at Tofo Scuba. In September 2002 Nikki completed her PADI scuba diver instructor?s course. She is also an excellent dive boat skipper.

Nikki moved from Barra Lodge Diver Charters when it was sold and moved to Tofo Scuba in which she is a co-owner. She is responsible for the day-to-day running of the business and all diver training, including padi courses and co-ordinating instructor development courses and programs.

Nikki is a very serious environmentalist and runs numerous environmental courses and is currently busy preparing a Manta Ray speciality course.
