I have acquired lots of my passions through adventures and experiences growing up on Vancouver island. When I was 13 years old I learned how to dive in my surrounding rivers and lakes, then progressed to the Ocean and travel destinations around the world. The ocean has always captivated my interest and I love exploring all the beauty life has to offer above and beneath the water.
