Christie learned to dive in Melbourne in 2014 and found her introduction to the underwater world far more challenging than she expected. Not everyone loves everything about diving when they first start to learn; this is something that Christie recognises as an instructor, and she works hard to support and encourage all levels of divers, helping them turn their fears into courage and a sense of accomplishment.

Favourite local dive sites: Party Point & Rye Pier
