PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2016

Hey, I’m Katie! I’m originally from Kentucky, and started diving when I was 15. Much of my dive experience was acquired in South Carolina, where I went Coastal Carolina University and got my B.S. in marine science. I also got my divemaster there, and then came to the keys right after college! I instructed scuba and taught marine science to kiddos in the lower keys, and then came to rainbow in June of 2024! I love observing unique marine life, and showing others the beauty of the ocean.
