ABOUT Sarah Sisco,

IDC Staff Instructor

Sarah has always had a passion for marine life. This is exemplified through her choice to pursue a career as a PADI master scuba diver trainer and has been emboldened by her academic endeavors. 

 

Sarah became certified at 16 years old in Blue Grotto springs Florida, after years of watching her mom and grandfather dive together. It was meeting Chris Adams, cofounder of DIVE ARMY that sent her on the path to becoming an instructor. After a refresher course and a trip to the Cayman Islands, Sarah was hooked. She sailed through numerous recreational certifications in Monterey, California and in October 2013 became an open water scuba instructor. Determined to share her passion for diving, Sarah certified numerous open water and specialty divers, achieving her master scuba diver rating in August, 2014. She continued to attend DIVE ARMY excursions in the interest of sharing her knowledge and making new dive friends. 

 

Having found her true passion, Sarah moved to Key Largo, Florida to continue teaching scuba while pursuing a bachelors degree in marine biology. Her favorite experience was working with juvenile bull sharks in the Florida Everglades. She graduated Spring 2018 with honors and summa cum laude. Now she is actively seeking a PhD program in an international location to study marine megafauna, emphasizing in elasmobranch ecology.
