Char's journey commenced amidst the glitz of Las Vegas, Nevada, yet it was against the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles in 2017 that her life took an unexpected turn. A spontaneous decision to seize a Groupon opportunity and delve into the depths of SCUBA at Eco Dive Center set ablaze a passion within her that continues to shine brightly to this very day.


Hailing from the arid landscapes of Vegas, the notion of SCUBA diving was as alien to Char as the distant stars in the night sky. Her interactions with water had been limited to the artificial paradises gracing the exteriors of hotels, worlds away from the expansive mysteries of the ocean.

However, from the instant she submerged beneath the waves for the first time, Char was captivated. With over 2000 dives now logged in her records, her love affair with SCUBA knows no bounds. From the otherworldly allure of Thailand's coral reefs to the mesmerizing spectacles of the Maldives, from the lively marine ecosystems of Mexico to the unspoiled waters of Belize, Fiji, and the Philippines—each dive destination has woven its own enchanting magic into Char's aquatic odyssey. And with each dive, she unearths new layers of passion and gratitude for the awe-inspiring world that lies beneath the surface.
