In December 2011, the idea for the Merbabe Adventures was born. Underwater of course, and while on boats and wondering how I could share my experiences in the ocean with people who may not get the chance.

Six years is a long time to continue a side project.  Many things have changed since this blog was born-where I live, what I do for a living, and how often I am able to write.  But the remaining constant in my life has been my connection with the ocean.  I write this with the salt of the Pacific on my skin and in my hair, and the memory of this day’s dives fresh in my brain.

I can’t say six years ago that I was a baby or a novice, but the amount of things i have learned and experienced since then have changed me.  I plan to continue my writing in this blog and in my personal life, so that i have a journal of this ocean journey i’ve gone on.

Thank you for taking this journey with me.

Happy Holidays, with love and gratitude-
