Got Certified Because: I fell in love with the Ocean and its creatures at a very young age. Had snorkeled with my family as a kid and was also an athlete who loved adventure sports. So when my Dad suggested we start diving as a family when I was 16, I was all in!
Dive Professional Since: Divemaster in training
Lifetime Dives as of Dec 2023: 259
Most Memorable Dive Moment: The great hammerhead experience in Bimini, Bahamas. The bater dropped the fish at my knees and the shark scooped me right on top of him! I was a little nervous he'd get my foot, but he shook me off right quick and swam off lol.
