The ocean captivated Charlotte’s imagination since her childhood. It initially fuelled her desire to become a mermaid until this fascination evolved into a pursuit of scientific knowledge, environmental advocacy and underwater adventures.
This allure was cultivated on countless weekends at her Grandparents house along Myalup beach and an awe-inspiring trip to the Great Barrier Reef as a teenager. These early experiences sparked her enchantment with marine life and motivated her to pursue her passion by studying marine biology and zoology at the University of Western Australia. Seeking to broaden her impact, she pursued postgraduate studies in secondary education, specialising in Science and Mathematics.
Charlotte obtained her scuba diving licence and embarked on aquatic adventures along the WA coastline, exploring destinations like Rottnest, Ningaloo, Esperance and Bremer Bay. Her quest for marine wonders led her to dive and snorkel in renowned locations worldwide, such as Tanzania, Egypt, Fiji, Vanuatu, Malaysia and the Caribbean.
After six rewarding years as a teacher, Charlotte is combining her expertise as an experienced educator with her profound passion for the marine world and ocean conservation. Driven by her commitment to provide interactive, authentic learning, this business is the realisation of Charlotte’s lifelong dream. Her aim is to inspire future generations to appreciate, protect and advocate for the protection of our precious marine environments.
