PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer - Scuba Diving since 2020

My diving "career" began in January 2020 as a Christmas gift with my husband (you'll find him on here too). But after the first few dives, I was ready to give up and stick with snorkeling or just swimming. And diving was something I always wanted to do - I wanted to be an aquanaut! My open water certification was achieved because our amazing instructor spent one on one time with me showing me tricks to achieve the skills required. Our first open water dive trip in the ocean (with RRDC) - we loved it so much we kept coming back to Key Largo and Rainbow Reef...fast forward and here we are calling Rainbow Reef and Key Largo home. Sharing diving with divers from all over the world who come to experience this wonderful creation is so rewarding.

We have two great dogs - Paladin our GSD and Millie a chocolate lab. Both doggos love the water and paddle boarding and boats and bike rides. When not hanging out with Mattie and our dogs, I love reading, running and spending time with friends!
