Jessica grew up on the wild and beautiful Vancouver Island in Canada, where her love for nature and the ocean was fostered through hiking adventures and endless hours spent in the water. After years in the service industry and a life-changing solo trip to Central America, she discovered diving and committed herself to exploring the ocean, community work, and environmental care.
For the past six years, Jessica has worked as a dive instructor in the Caribbean and Mexico, with the last two years in the British Virgin Islands, earning her Elite 100 status from PADI in 2023.
During her time in Mexico , she worked as a hostess on the diving live-aboard Belle Amie, where she provided exceptional service to guests while managing all aspects of interior duties, assisting with diving operations, and ensuring safety on trips to the Revillagigedo Archipelago. In 2024, she joined the yachting industry, completing an Atlantic crossing on a 62ft Sunreef from the BVI to Naples, Italy. She led the team in provisioning and made significant contributions to cooking, cleaning, and watch duties during the 34-day, 4000 NM journey, which solidified her desire to work on sailboats. With over 2000 dives ranging from Caribbean reefs to deep Pacific dives with sharks and oceanic manta rays, Jessica is passionate about curating personalized, memorable experiences and is dedicated to sharing the beauty of the Caribbean islands, both above and below the water.
