Hi friends!
I say this under the assumption that the majority of readers at the moment are people who already know me: close friends, family or even previous interns/ students. Welcome!
So what is The Scuba Diaries and why am I starting this now?
Due to the pandemic I have not been working in the dive industry for the best part of a year now. After living and working on Utila for 4 incredible years, I moved to Canada in July 2020 in hope of broadening my dive resume by gaining experience in cold water diving. Although the global impact on the tourism industry has hindered my plans to seek dive employment here, I am extremely grateful to be currently living in the Canadian Rockies and to enjoy this winter wonderland!
Like most of you, I too have a lot of time on my hands right now, and I spend a good chunk of that time daydreaming about scuba diving.
Over the years I have accumulated a great deal of content, experience and knowledge which I would like to share in the form of storytelling. I thoroughly enjoy writing, editing content and managing social media accounts, all of which led me to start The Scuba Diaries.
So whether you're interested in hearing my scuba stories, here for your daily dose of marine manifesting, or you're just curious in how I'm going to make this worth my while, stick around!
I'm aiming to publish one blog post per month and post to @thescubadiaries account daily, all in hope of providing myself (and hopefully you) with some form of escapism. I have no expectations to build a large following or collaborate with brands, this is purely for my own enjoyment, but we'll see where it goes...
Safe diving & happy dreaming,
A.
