Area Director

Although Chelsea has been diving since 2007, she has been involved in the scuba industry her entire life with her parents owning and operating SeaVentures for 31 years. After receiving her Business degree while playing collegiate volleyball, she explored her passion for working in bakeries. However, she found herself back at the family business pursuing her dive professional certifications and eventually worked her way through most of the swim, scuba, and marketing roles then into management. Since becoming a dive pro and running the Alpharetta location, she has traveled the world sharing her passion and excitement for the underwater world and visited amazing places like Bonaire where she even attended kids camp growing up each summer to Galapagos with the most advanced and incredible diving yet.

My love of swimming began at a very early age. One of my favorite memories is swimming the lake with my family around age 4. I love working with kids and helping them follow their dreams, whatever they may be. I have a background in making magic with Micky Mouse and friends at Walt Disney World.

Swim Teacher

I have over 15 years of recreational swimming experience and have been a longtime member of Diventures, where I have developed strong foundational skills and a love for the water. I enjoy applying what I have learned to help eager students, especially kids, build confidence and feel comfortable in the pool. I love making lessons fun, helping students laugh while they learn, and watching them grow in confidence as they develop life-saving skills and enjoy the physical and mental benefits of swimming.
