Kristen began diving at 16 years old in Oakville and quickly turned her passion for the underwater world into a global adventure. She completed her Divemaster training in Utila, Honduras, before moving to Australia, where she lived and dove in several regions around the country.

Today, Kristen is both an SSI and PADI Advanced Open Water Instructor, as well as an SSI Freediving Instructor. Freediving remains one of her greatest passions, with favourite memories coming from Siquijor in the Philippines and Amed, Indonesia.

As owner of Aquarius Scuba, Kristen oversees operations and administration while helping create a welcoming and community-focused atmosphere at the shop. Chances are, you’ll be greeted by her smile when you walk through the door.
