Kristy is our newest scuba instructor, the first one to go through Patriot Diving's Instructor Development Course with Roger and Tom. Kristy is also the Social Media Manager at Patriot Diving. 

In Kristy's other life, she is a licensed veterinary technician who has worked in zoos and aquariums nationwide before falling in love with scuba. Since she was little, she has always loved the water but thought being a scuba diver was out of reach. In 2022, she decided to focus more on scuba and moved to Utila, Honduras, where she did a Marine Conservation Internship and completed her PADI Divemaster. From then on, she was hooked on the feeling of being underwater with some of the most amazing creatures. She started working at Patriot Scuba as a divemaster while trying to explore the world of diving. She loves to travel and is always planning the next dive trip, with dreams of traveling the world diving. Kristy is also a Mermaid and a Freediver, and she has worked at Seabase, guiding the Boy Scouts underwater and educating them about the ocean's wonders.
