    PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2017

    I started diving when I was 16 in high school and completely fell in love with it. I knew it was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. At 18 I joined a company back Home in Minnesota that dove in lakes across the state to clean up debris and invasive species. Two years later I had begun my own business doing the same thing, it wasnt the most pleasant form of diving but I was willing to do anything to get in the water. In February 2022 I vacationed in Key largo for a Weekend and learned more about the dive industry and internship from Rainbow Reef. After applying once I got back and getting accepted, 1 year later I was here and on my way to getting my instructor certification.
