Becky started her diving career in 2003 after getting married to a dive instructor and moved to Florida, leaving her home in the mountains of Montana where she helped train Emergency First Responders. It was one of the coldest Januarys Florida had ever experienced (so much for the tropics).

After learning to dive in the Florida springs it was on to the ocean, actually the Florida Keys. She was hooked on diving and fell in love with warm, sunny, coral reefs? With such feelings of success Becky enrolled in Rescue Diving and Nitrox, and then enrolled and completed Dive Master.

Becky moved to North Carolina from Florida and assists in dive classes. Having a recent memory of learning, she is a great role model for beginning divers. “I enjoy the students and watching their trepidations, enthusiasm and accomplishments. They conquered, just like I did.” “I always thought I’d be a Warm, Sunny, Reef (WSR) diver, but my favorite dive was to the Caribsea in North Carolina’s “Graveyard of the Atlantic”. This wreck is now famous for the Sand Tiger Sharks, barracuda, amberjack, seabass and baitfish.” “I always learn as much from new students as they learn from the instructor.

I love telling new divers about my adventures of sight seeing on the wrecks of the Atlantic. Some of the shipwrecks go back to the 1500’s. I get caught up in the history of the wreck and wondering if the ship was wrecked due to hurricanes, pirates or war. Mostly pirates, aaargh! Besides, I have an underwater metal detector that hasn’t found that Spanish Treasure yet.”
