Born and raised in a small town in Southern Indiana, I grew up loving adventure and the outdoors. Ever since I can remember, I have always been obsessed with the water and especially its inhabitants. So naturally, I had to turn my love for the water and adventure into a career. I found myself leaving my hometown and heading to the Florida Keys where I would eventually become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor!
Key Largo was fun and exciting in many ways. Here I became a dive master and first mate, guiding divers to the depths of the Atlantic navigating through shipwrecks, drift-diving through the National Marine Sanctuary, and witnessing beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. I absolutely loved getting to encounter all types of sea life, from SHARKS, TURTLES, to beautiful fish, and my personal favorite, SPOTTED EAGLE RAYS!
Truly enjoying showing divers the beauty of the ocean, I decided it was time to continue my professional dive career and become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. Not only was I able to share my love of the ocean and its inhabitants with others, but now I was teaching people from all over the world to go beyond their fears and become confident scuba divers. Watching the transformation of a student go from hesitant and nervous to excited and proud was my favorite part of instructing.
Then, despite the pandemic of 2020, I was able to take my love for instructing and passion for the ocean and move to the US Virgin Islands. It was here, that I began working on luxury day charters. Whether serving up drinks with a smile or being a personal snorkel guide, I love making sure your day out on the water is absolutely amazing.
Now as your captain, I continue to share my passion for the ocean and exploring the beautiful blue waters of the Virgin Islands with you.
So welcome aboard for a fun day full of fantastic adventures with Captain Jennie!
