Suzy was born in England and later, traveled the world in 1990.  When she made her first scuba dive in the Maldives, Indian Ocean, she was totally mesmerized by that experience and it was not long after that she moved up the ranks of PADI to become a PADI Instructor.  Suzy used her skills as a trained chef to get jobs on live-aboard dive boats and has dove the Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Hawaii, Bali, Maldives, Cayman Islands, Turks & Caicos, Mexico, Lanzarote, Aruba, Honduras, Philippines, Dominican Republic, Haiti, England, Tobago and Puerto Rico.  She now calls Southern California home and loves diving off the coast of California with kelp! which she believes is absolutely AMAZING in itself.  As well as a PADI IDC Staff Instructor, Suzy is also a world renowned elite ultra distance triathlete.  She believes keeping fit and a healthy life style go hand in hand with being a scuba instructor.
