Hello everyone!
My name is Sej and ever since I was a small child, I have
loved the ocean. The smell of it, the taste of it, swimming, diving, just being
on a boat at the surface, all of it is my idea of something wonderful. The
ocean has always fascinated me so I spend much of my time understanding and
exploring it. From the molecular structure of water and the salts that make up
the ocean to great gyres and circulation across the globe, I love knowing about
the ocean and finding new ways to experience it.
I was born in Durban, South Africa, where the beaches are an
endless source of fun. I grew up being tossed around by huge waves and poking
weird things that washed up ashore. I spent time living in the UK as well
before moving to coastal Connecticut at the age of 10. Through middle school
and high school, marine biology and other science classes were always my
favorite. I went to college at Tufts University and graduated in 2012 with a double
major in Environmental Studies and Geology.

In college I had my first experiences with SCUBA diving and
have continued diving and learning to become a Divemaster so I can dive
professionally. Breathing underwater is one of the most amazing things- it’s
basically a superpower! My favorite thing about diving is being able to share
my enthusiasm for the ocean with new divers and anyone with a passion for
learning, doing and seeing cool things.

I’m thrilled for what’s to come this summer and can’t wait to enjoy it with all of you!
