  PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2015

  My name's Grace, I'm from Tampa, though I moved around some before that. I got my Open Water in 2015, but only dove a couple times until last year. 

  Those few dive trips I took made me want to get back into diving and made me think about what it would be like to dive as my career. So in the summer of 2022 I came to Rainbow and went all the way from Open Water to Master Scuba. Then I came back the next summer and got my Divemaster and Instructor. And then finally I moved down here to work, and I'm super excited to be teaching people to dive!!!
