Thank you for being such an amazing collection of souls, each with your own special spirits that have added so much to my life. It has been an amazing life, and I have loved every minute (well, almost every minute). Do not cry – but instead, find something really funny and have a massive belly laugh – I will hear you and laugh along with you.

She spent 4 months in Antarctica sleeping on the ice and diving beneath it, 2 weeks living underwater in the Caribbean studying corals, cave diving in the Pacific, snorkelling with minke whales, and diving with thousands of sharks, including Great Whites and Makos, after completing her education.

I believe that it gives them a broader understanding of the magnificent environments through which they are traveling.”
