Hi! I'm Christy. I teach scuba at Dive World Austin, a PADI Five-Star training facility. I also lead a program called Glad Buddies to offer pro bono Discover Scuba Diving experiences for kids in basic foster care age 10-18.

As a former foster parent, I have a unique understanding of the healing and empowering possibilities that diving can offer kids who have experienced trauma.

I became a diver just so I could clean the bottom of my sailboat on scuba, and now I think I spend more time underwater than sailing across it. I also teach sailing, and I'm a private pilot working toward becoming a flight instructor.

I love to teach and open people up to new possibilities in their lives. I consider myself an usher into the unknown — I'll help you check fear at the door and safely step across the threshold of your dreams.

Like I always say, if I'm in the water, I'm happy. 🤙
