About Me
Young and vibrant PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer and Chief Yacht Stewardess Katie Storr was introduced to the ocean at a very young age by her Father Captain Patterson Storr. Who worked in the diving industry from most of her childhood life. This is where she learned to appreciate and love marine life and scuba diving. Through following in her Fathers footsteps she was molded into a well rounded scuba instructor and ocean lover.
“When I was growing up my Father was a Divemaster and Captain, he would take me along from the early ages of 6 yrs to assist him at work or just hangout. I would get to help roster all the divers in and the best part was putting on a face mask and holding onto the ladder in the water while watching them as they descended into the blue. I often wished to be down there and I also remember being so excited to drive the boat.” - Katie
She was introduced to many cultures and personality types when she left the Bahamas to attend school in the United States, which opened her eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. Katherine also known as Katie assisted her dad as a teenager with boat delivery administration assisting with her fathers Yacht Deliveries company.

“Yachting, travel, marine conservation, scuba diving, and photography all have a special place in my heart. As a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer I try to instill to my students the importance of marine conservation and knowing why it also important in relation to The Bahamas.
