With
over 30-years SCUBA instruction experience as a Course Director/Instructor I have the

number of women students in Rhode Island.
I was on the NAUI Board of Directors through 2011 which
upholds quality International SCUBA standards, policies and procedures for NAUI
as well as maintaining the highest safety program within the Industry.
I was indoctrinated as a member with the Women Divers Hall
of Fame (www.wdhof.org) which is an international non-profit professional honor
society whose member contributions span a wide variety of fields including: The
Arts, Science, Medicine, Sports, Exploration, Marine Archeology, Media,

In addition to volunteering for the Women Divers Hall of
