Originally from the heart of the PA coal region, Amy moved to Hawaii to escape the harsh winters and pursue a career in teaching special education. Always at home in the water, Amy began diving as soon as she arrived. She was certified as a PADI instructor in Phuket, Thailand in 2009 and has been actively diving and working as an instructor ever since. Amy is a now Master Scuba Dive Trainer and hoping to become a Handicapped Scuba Instructor in the very near future.
Amy has traveled all over the Pacific Islands,Asia, the mainland, and the Mediterranean exploring the underwater world. If you can’t find her on the Island Divers Hawaii boats, you’ll find her on her surfboard, her yoga mat or at the University of Hawai’i in class. She’s a busy girl, but she always makes time for her scuba family at Island Divers Hawaii
