Annie Petrasch - Divemaster

I have always loved the water. I spent my summers on Nantucket Island often playing on the beach and rolling in the waves. Last year, after two years of college in the Northeast, I decided to take some time off and do the things I have always wanted to do. I dedicated some time to cooking, to art, and to traveling. Four months ago, my travels brought me to Oahu to work with a marine conservation group. As an ocean lover, it just seemed to fit. I had only planned to be down here for two months, but after only three weeks, I found myself in love and as happy as I ever have been. So, I decided that this island would be my home a little longer. I got involved with Deep Ecology only two days after my arrival on the island by helping them with a turtle rescue. Soon after the rescue, I did my open water certification through them and then became a staff member. I am continuing my diving education and will, hopefully be going back to college in the fall of 2002. Until then, I plan to travel more and spend as much time in the water as possible.
