A Brave Decision

Brandi’s love for diving was so intense that it even led her to enroll in the U.S. Coast Guard right out of high school. It seemed like everything was pointing her to what would ultimately become the biggest discovery of her life.

While serving her country, Brandi began teaching diving classes, sharing her passion with other people, even learning how to pilot a boat at the same time. “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 amazing experiences could prepare the young woman for what she would discover in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
