Dive Instructor
Rachel is from Charlotte, NC, and has loved the ocean since her first open water dive at age 16. In 2022, she joined a Seamester Transatlantic program on S/Y Vela, where she became a Divemaster. Inspired by her staff and previous dive instructors, Rachel went to Bay Islands College of Diving in Utila, Honduras, to earn her PADI Scuba Instructor certification. The only other thing Rachel loves as much as the sea is theatre. She graduated from NYU and now calls New York City home as a freelance stage manager. She has worked on three Broadway productions, and when not backstage or underwater, she enjoys reading, writing, drawing, and exploring. Rachel is thrilled to be back at AQ this summer!
