Mini bio
How it started.
Sarah’s first scuba experience was in the Maldives in 2009. She qualified as a divemaster in Turkey in 2014 and worked on a liveaboard in Micronesia in 2015. Diving also drew her into writing: an early post about sharks in Panama helped her discover how much she enjoyed telling travel stories.
Finding her people.
Being the only woman on the Micronesia boat’s dive staff left Sarah wanting more women to share the experience with. In 2016 she created Girls that Scuba. Its official history says it became the largest online women’s diving community within five months. A shop followed in 2017, then group trips and a membership scheme in 2018.
Stories for the next generation.
Her travel blog, Coffee With a Slice of Life, answered questions about visiting less familiar destinations alone and finding good dive sites. More recently, she turned to children’s writing. My Mum’s a Scuba Diver celebrates a mother keeping her own passion for the ocean, with illustrations by Elisa Varetti.
