  PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer - Scuba Diving since 2011

  Maddie grew up in Connecticut and attended high school in upstate New York. After being in the northeast for so long, she decided to travel south and attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida graduating with a BA in environmental studies. After graduation, she moved to Chicago for a year to work before returning to Florida to pursue her career in diving.

  Maddie received her PADI open water diver certification in 2011 when she was in Hawaii with her family. In college she gained her advanced open water diver certification as well as her rescue diver certification. During Maddie's second year in school she got a job as a teaching assistant to the Rollins College Scuba program and spent the next three years helping Rollins students learn the joys of diving. In summer of 2018, Maddie traveled to Key Largo and received her divemaster as well as her open water scuba instructor certifications at Rainbow Reef and is now thrilled to be a part of the organization as an employee.
