A Brave Decision

A true ocean lover, Muelller enrolled in the U.S. Coast Guard right out of high school. It seemed like everything in her life was pushing her towards a career always spent in the sea.

While serving her country, Mueller also taught diving classes. “I worked my way up to Divemaster in college and became a dive instructor right after I graduated. Working on boats while instructing and guiding, learning to be a captain just sort of happened in the progression,” she said. However, none of these incredible experiences could ever prepare Mueller for what she would find lying hidden in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
