Shelby was certified to dive in Andros, Bahamas, in 2014 as part of her college curriculum, which had a semester titled “Bahamas and Adventure Leadership.” Upon the first underwater inhalation, she was hooked. Once she returned to Columbus, Ohio (her home), she dove headfirst into taking more SCUBA courses. She was offered a job at her local dive shop, where she quickly became an instructor and the store manager. After managing that shop for nine years, she decided she had hit a ceiling in her diving and needed to move to Florida to be near the caves and the ocean! Shelby has been in the dive industry since she was 21 and over the course of that time certified over 500 divers in various levels of training and logged approximately 2,500 dives. She has now happily found a home at Dive Rite and she is excited to be a part of a team at the forefront of innovation in diving equipment.
