She manages Mars Scuba, certifies the people who teach diving, and is happiest somewhere quiet and blue: on a breath, on a loop, or way down deep.

01 / About

The person
behind the bubbles.

Manager at Mars Scuba. Equally at home on open circuit, a rebreather loop, or a single breath.

Bailey runs the floor at Mars Scuba, and somewhere along the way became one of the people who decides whether the next generation of instructors is ready to teach.

Diving isn't a side interest for Bailey; it's the whole shape of the day. As manager of Mars Scuba she keeps the shop, the classes, and the people moving. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes work that makes a dive center actually feel like one.

As an SDI Instructor Examiner and an SSI Assistant Instructor Trainer, she works at the top of the training ladder: not just certifying divers, but certifying the instructors who certify everyone else. It's a role built on patience, precision, and a genuine love of seeing people get good at something hard.

Her own diving runs deep and wide, literally. She's a PRISM 2 closed-circuit rebreather diver, comfortable on the quiet, bubble-free loop that takes you longer and deeper, and a freediver who's just as happy with no gear at all and one good breath. Open circuit, closed circuit, no circuit: if it's underwater, she's in.

Mostly, she just loves the ocean and all things scuba, and it shows in how she teaches it.

Rebreather Diving

PRISM 2 closed-circuit diving: silent, efficient, longer bottom times. The quiet end of the sport, where the bubbles stop.

Freediving

No tank, no noise, just breath, depth, and stillness. A different kind of diving that makes you better at all the rest.

For the Ocean

Above all, a love of the water that's hard to fake, and easy to catch. The reason any of the rest of this matters.
