Hi, I'm Emilie!
Accommodating Your Style
I am a Social Worker by education and professional training. However, I pivoted in my career because of my passion and love for scuba diving!
I've been diving Hawaii for over 15 years and have explored nearly every nook and cranny. My personal favorites on O'ahu are Shark's Cove and Three Tables in the North Shore.
I love searching for all types of ocean life including: octopus, dolphins, eels, and turtles.
I'm passionate about creating smiles on the faces of whom I take underwater!
