Get to know DAN Instructor: Caitlyn Monahan
DAN Instructor
Caitlyn Monahan
I started diving in August of 2021. I’ve been fascinated by the ocean for as long as I can remember, so much so that when I was young, I wanted to be a mermaid when I grew up. But, most importantly, I’m obsessed with sharks. I decided to get my Open Water qualification so that I could finally meet my favorite characters in their natural habitat. After my first ocean dive, it was immediately obvious to me that, even if I couldn’t grow gills, I needed to be under the water as much as humanly possible.
I’m the head instructor at Go Dive Mossel Bay, which means that I live under water, and honestly can’t get enough. At Go Dive, we love sharing our passion for the underwater environment with everyone. Whether it’s through helping new divers take their first breaths underwater, boosting competency and confidence of qualified divers through continuing education courses, training the next generation of dive leadership through Divemaster and Instructor Training Courses, or simply by sharing our favorite dive sites with clients, we’re here for an adventure! Some of my favorite excursions to guide include our offshore pelagic trip to find blue sharks and makos, and Sardine Run!
My favorite part of my job is seeing the ocean through the eyes of my brand new divers, when everything is mind-blowing… our common fish, starfish, sea urchins, all of the little things that those of us who dive every day take for granted. As a dive community, we're privileged to be able to breathe underwater, a fact that the joy I see on our new mermaid’s and mermen's faces won't let me forget.
