Putting yourself out there is hard.
Not going for your dreams is hard.
Choose your hard.
After completing my Divemaster Internship, I set off back to Thailand to dive in Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao. It was a full circle moment to return to the place where I was so petrified to dive, only to finally discover the insane beauty of underwater Thailand and appreciate the difference in cold water and tropical diving.
Off I went to Bali, finding myself in Tulamben after a quick Google Search of the best places to dive. I experienced my first wreck dive and fell absolutely in love. Tulamben is one of the places I find myself returning to - bringing along family and friends each time, further fuelling my passion.
Once my time in Tulamben came to an end, I took the fast boat to Gili Trawangan and met incredible underwater photographer Alfred Minnaar who nonchalantly suggested I could use the images I had collected from my dive travels to start an Instagram account.
And so I took his advice. I never could have imagined growing a community of tens of thousands of divers online. Growing this community led me to work in my all-time favourite role as a Marketing Consultant for PADI Asia Pacific, and working with over 110+ dive businesses globally.
