Jodie started scuba diving in 2016 at age 52 and by 2018 became a PADI Assistant Instructor, proving it’s never too late to do something extraordinary. She’s passionate about strong diving skills, ocean conservation, and creating confident, capable divers who respect ocean life. 

Jodie focuses on helping people who take up diving later in life—especially women—break past fear, build confidence, and realize scuba diving isn’t just for the young, it’s for the bold. For her, diving is moving meditation: calm, powerful, and deeply grounding.

Her most unforgettable dive was swimming freely with whale sharks in the Philippines—an awe-inspiring experience that permanently changed how she sees the ocean.
