Caitlin Traiser

Hey everybody! My name is Caitlin, and I'm going to be one of your instructors in the BVI! I'm 21 years old and have been diving for about eleven years; I grew up diving with my dad and it is hands down my favorite thing to do. When I was in high school, I attended Odyssey's voyage in the Windward Islands, had an absolutely wonderful time, and I can't wait for this summer. I'm also starting my senior year of college at the University of Florida, I'm majoring in Psychology and Political Science. In terms of my hobbies, I really like swimming, metal music, and doing psych research! So in short, I really like scuba diving and brains, can't wait to meet all of you!

Brittany Lane Ahmann

Hey! I fell in love with the ocean from afar while attending grade school in Alberta, Canada. From there I pursued various routes which got me involved with the ocean, including getting my open water certification at just 11 years old and attending Odyssey as a student for two summers back when I was in highschool. Since then, I have been diving in various places around the world with a list that continues to grow. I now attend the University of Victoria in the beautiful British Columbia (Canada), where I study marine biology and work as a scuba diving instructor in our cold but thriving waters. With a strong love for marine ecosystems, I aspire to pursue a career in marine conservation and education.

Mariah Saurin

Hi there! I'm Mariah! I lived on a boat for five years growing up and was lucky enough to find my passion for the ocean and its inhabitants at an early age. I started my diving career about 12 years ago through a marine science summer camp in Catalina! I attended Cal State Monterey Bay, and then headed to Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa where I earned my AAUS Scientific Diver certification and Bachelors. Through diving I've been able to travel to various places, with my favorite being Socorro Islands off of Mexico. When I'm not diving you can find me with my dog Ruby or planning my next dive trip. I absolutely love underwater videography and editing so hopefully I can get some cool shots of you!
