CERTIFICATION: PADI Divemaster

# OF DIVES: 300+

AT PAN AQUA DIVING: I am a Divemaster who loves assisting with classes and leading dives.  I especially enjoy helping students get over a challenge!

FIRST BREATH ON SCUBA: Was at Dutch Springs, doing a Discover Scuba Diving class. It went terribly for me! After that, I tried again in the Dominican Republic and fell in love with diving. (This is proof that sometimes you have to try a few times and not give up.) 

BEST DIVE EVER: Was when my husband, my three children and I all dove together for the first time, in Ambergris Caye, Belize.

FAVORITE CRITTER: Sharks! I also enjoy the challenge of finding frogfish and seahorses. 

WHEN I AM NOT DIVING:  I am planning a dive trip, reading about diving, and I also enjoy skiing, cooking, photography and helping with veterans’ causes. I serve on the board of a charter school in Hoboken.
