A good mentor and motivator for the young individuals and professionals, a highly motivated coach and a skilled scuba diver instructor.
Training and discipline
He conquered his fear of the water by learning the fundamentals of swim and survival skills, his interest and determination to learn hand to hand combat skills like boxing, kickboxing and other sports.

What Clients Say
I recently completed a diving course with Charles at Sea Guardians Cayman, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Charles is an exceptional instructor – patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. Thanks to his guidance, I not only learned a lot but also had a fantastic time. I can’t wait for the next dive with him. I highly recommend Sea Guardians Cayman and Charles!!
I had a very great diving experience and learned very quickly. Coach Charles is very enthusiastic when teaching and knows the easiest ways to teach young people like me. I am looking forward to dives in the future. Thank you!
Coach Charles is a great teacher. He has a gift of making his students feel very comfortable in the water from Day 1 and he is able to explain what needs to be taught thoroughly. He is very patient and he makes acquiring new skills fun.
He taught my then 6-year-old son to float comfortably in the water, to swim and do the strokes properly and most importantly, to survive in water and save someone in cases of emergency. It was just amazing how he was able to let my son tread confidently in the deep end of the pool on their 3rd session.
New year, new skill! That is always my new year’s resolution. So for the year 2021, I planned to try swimming. I am a resident of the gorgeous Cayman Islands and yet I don’t know how to swim? Shame on me!
BUT….. I am scared. Super scared! Scared as a kitten!!! I have zero knowledge about swimming. I can only step in the kids’ swim area in the pool but definitely not in that 6-feet deep part of the water. For me to learn, I need a school. A good one! One that has enough patience to guide me every step of the way. I decided to try the services of a novice player, Sea Guardian Cayman under the mentorship of Coach Charles.
How was it? The journey was not only difficult but tough. Hard core tough! I did the right decision in choosing Sea Guardian Cayman. I can now decently swim. That 6-feet part of the pool is no longer a hurdle for me. Next year I am planning to join the Flowers Sea Swim event to validate the skill I’ve learned.
Next stop? Diving! Where to learn this new skill? Where else but Sea Guardian Cayman. Rated A-1 for me!
Initially, I don’t have any interest to learn how to swim because I am already in my late 30’s. But I changed my mind when I heard from my friends who are almost my age, that they were able to properly swim after being coached by Charles. So I gave it a try and it was a good decision. True enough, after a few sessions with Charles, I was able to gain my confidence in the water, even the open water. I believe I will learn more with him in my next sessions.
Charles is not only a good swimming instructor, he is also a good boxing coach. My few sessions of boxing with him were fun and awakened a new interest in me. His coaching approach is impressive as he makes it fun and encouraging at the same time. I will definitely recommend Charles to friends who’d like to learn swimming and boxing.
My first lesson in swimming with Sea Guardians started 6 months ago, and I just want to learn to float, how to breathe while swimming, and eventually learn the basic hand strokes and leg kicks.
It made a huge difference now because I’m comfortable now and I’m progressing with my swim techniques and endurance on the water.
My goal is just to feel safer in the water, though not as a fast swimmer but confident in all ways when it comes to swimming on my own.
Coach Charles was very patient and he gave me the best steps for learning the techniques which helped me overcome my fear of the water and become confident in my abilities.
Thank you, Coach Charles!
I started my boxfit journey (together with some friends) with Coach Charles for about a month now and I would highly recommend his boxfit classes at LIFT Studio to anyone who wanted to get more in shape. The gym itself is not very crowded and coach Charles is really good at what he does. He is very friendly and supportive of our fitness goals. The boxfit classes are challenging but always full of fun and variety. He also integrates some exercises to boxing so it’s a well-rounded workout. For someone who haven’t done so much workout before, I can say that this course has been very helpful. I have seen continuous improvement and I know I’m still a work in progress to my desired goal. We’re always looking forward to these sessions with Coach Charles
