About the biodiversity in the ocean. Every tour taught me more about whales, plants, fishes, birds, turtles, dolphins, plankton, etc. The sea life is incredible!

I have two special memories as a tour guide at Jets. The first was my first whale-watching tour, it was the first time I had seen whales in the ocean, and it was amazing. The whales are incredible, interesting, and powerful. The second memory is when I did my first bioluminescence plankton tour, which was my first experience seeing it for myself. We jumped into the darkness of the water it was like someone had turned on the lights. I imagined this is what it would be like to be in space with billions of stars in front of you.

Clients that come back every year and request to be with me are always a pleasure. And, of course, the whales; I love showing people the humpback whales that come to the bay every year. Sometimes my eyes fill with tears of happiness thinking of all the amazing memories I have and how lucky I am.
