Hey, I’m Emily! I’m just an adventurous soul with a deep passion for the underwater world and a love for exploring the deep blue (and yes, I dive into the same spots again and again because they’re just that amazing!).
I was super excited to snorkel in Koh Lipe, which is a beautiful island in Thailand, and see the coral reefs for the first time. Colors, fish, and corals were increadible, I was so expressed!! After that day, I decided to take a course in scuba diving -and I'm so glad I did!
I still remember my first dive. The nervousness, the excitement, and then... pure wonder. That dive sparked a passion that has stayed with me ever since. I've explored vibrant reefs in the Maldives, and dived with sharks in the Pacific. Each dive is a new adventure, a chance to discover something amazing.
Through divingwise, I aim to share the beauty and thrill of scuba diving with you, and inspire you to discover the wonders of the deep blue for yourself.
divingwise is a blog dedicated to all things scuba diving—from beginner tips to advanced techniques, and everything in between.
This website was born during one of my many diving trips. While floating in the calm waters of the Red Sea, I realized that I wanted to share my underwater experiences, tips, and stories with others who dream of diving or who are already hooked on it.
I love suiting up, strapping on my gear, and plunging into the ocean, no matter the dive site, no matter the weather. Experiencing the vibrant marine life, exploring coral reefs, discovering shipwrecks, and meeting fellow divers from around the world are what I live for!
My passion is to help both aspiring divers and seasoned adventurers like you dive deeper into your passion—without needing a super yacht, celebrity status, or a fortune!
My mission with this blog is to make scuba diving more accessible, enjoyable, and safe for everyone. Learn from my dives, uncover hidden gems beneath the waves, borrow my gear tips, and dive into the ocean’s wonders yourself!
And just so you know, my dive guides and gear recommendations are all based on my personal experiences. I plan and research each dive, fund them with my own savings, and test the gear myself—so you can trust that my advice is the real deal. No hype, no fluff, just pure underwater truth!
If you ever have any diving-related questions or need help planning your next underwater adventure, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always ready to share my knowledge and help in any way I can!
Your diving buddy,
Emily
