Myka grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but always dreamed of a life near the ocean. In 2019 they embarked on a backpacking trip to Southeast Asia, and got Open Water certified in Koh Tao, Thailand, knowing instantly that they wanted to make a career of diving. Myka first came to Maui with Americorps NCCC, and decided to make it home following the completion of their service term. Myka’s previous dive experience includes Mexico, North Macedonia, and have since been exploring Maui’s reefs over the past two years, becoming a PADI Assistant Instructor. Myka joined the Extended Horizons team to get people excited about the ocean, and believes that even something as tiny as a nudibranch has the power to inspire!
