Rachel grew up in Pennsylvania where the two mouths of the Susquehanna Rivers meet. She has loved being in and on the water since she was born, fascinated by the underwater world. In college, she was torn between her love of the ocean and its creatures, and her love of human interaction. She ended up with a major in Anthropology and a Biology minor. Rachel was lucky enough to have her first dive experience on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and has taken every opportunity to dive since. In 2019 she decided to make things official, and became certified in Greece, going from Open Water to Assistant Instructor in six months! Rachel completed her PADI Instructor Course on the island of Maui and enjoys working with all of the people drawn here.
