Learn about your organizer & tour guide, Aly!
Meet Aly Birch:
I'm a NYC native, now living in Vermont with my boyfriend, our cat Binx & instagram-famous dog, Maria. I work in the tech space as my 9-5, but fuel my love for travel & scuba diving by running trips around the world!
I started diving in 2008 with my dad, moved to Hawaii for my degree and fell even more in love with the underwater world.
Upon moving back to the east coast, I obtained my PADI Scuba Instructor Certification in 2017 and can now teach all kinds of fun specialties.
I have always had a strong love for water, as I grew up spending time on a lake in the Adirondacks and beaches all over the east coast.
I found that as an adult, it's hard to find friends who share a similar schedule or want to do the things you want to do on "vacation", so I began traveling solo to destinations around the globe. Then, in 2020, I went on my first group trip and met some of the most amazing people.
I figured, why wouldn't I combine my love for traveling, diving and meeting new people?
So I did, and here we are! My trips all include a historical, geographical and water aspect, and are great for everyone from non-divers/those interested in diving, to well seasoned divers.
I hope you choose to join me for an adventure!
