Dina believes that learning to dive was one of the most transformative and self-empowering experiences of her life. Forever grateful, she concluded that everyone deserves access to diving, and to a healthy and thriving ocean environment. To that end, she works as a PADI Divemaster, spends free time removing trash from her local beach, and is a regular volunteer at the New England Aquarium. She is very grateful to the WDHOF for sponsoring her next step: training to become a Handicapped Scuba Association professional so that she can help introduce divers of all abilities to the healing effects of water immersion.
