How did this happen?

Cota Kinis began as a result of a simple conversation and quirky idea during a "quarter life crisis". As I am sure most of you can relate, my life has not exactly panned out how I had imagined. However, I am very pleased with the journey I have taken. 

A background in Marine Biology and a passion for conservation led me to become a scuba instructor which opened up a world of opportunities to travel and follow my adventurous spirit to incredible places all around the world. Working and volunteering in the most stunning areas surrounded by spectacular animals and unique environments. My career path has varied from teaching diving to salvage diving for lost spanish treasure as well as leading and participating in conservation projects. I must admit life has been pleasantly surpising and extraordinary for the most part! 

This chapter of my journey is focused on personal growth and overcoming challenges to achieve the goals I have set. Each day is a learning experience and I am continuously enhancing my knowledge and skills as a business owner and seamstress. I never imagined I would be here but I am proud of what I have accomplished and excited to see what the future has in store! 

Join me as I navigate this new adventure, sharing the struggles and triumphs behind the scenes. Continue to follow the Cota Kini Chronicles to gain insight into the who, what, when, where and hows of the business. 

Best Fishes,
