Felipe started her diving journey in 2011 at the Great Barrier Reef. The tranquility and beauty of the underwater world became a much-needed retreat after multiple combat deployments as an officer in the Army. Ocean exploration quickly became a deep passion for her. For several years she focused on building experience as a recreational diver in many different locations all over the world including the Phillippines, Thailand, Hawaii, and Mexico. In 2023 she realized she wanted to help others find the same passion for diving. She then completed a divemaster internship at Utila Dive Center in Honduras and shortly after became an instructor as well.
Felipe is also a yoga instructor and believes that diving and mindfulness are deeply connected. She is excited to share these aspects throughout her courses.
