MEET YOUR HOSTS
EMILY
Head Instructor of Salty Souls Freediving
Em is a a more fish than woman type of girl. Her salty days started in childhood, spent overturning rocks, discovering starfish, and engaging in lively races with hermit crabs. Starting off as a divemaster and underwater photographer inspired, Emily seeked to explore what it means to be an aquatic human, ditching the gear, and embracing the mental and physical journey of breath holding and freediving. Eager to share the benefits of living with a blue mind Em found her calling in instructing and helping others realize their aquatic goals. If you find yourself diving with Em you’ll likely hear muffled snorkel screams of excitement and celebratory surface splashes when you get a personal best or dive achievement.

She is a water woman, divemaster, head honcho of Agua Salad, and has worked with indigenous communities in the arctic for many years, giving her a strong sense of community and heart that she brings to the every expedition and event. Rachida is always looking out for the community working with local fisherman to provide alternative forms of income and is the first to organize regular town-wide beach cleans. She loves to explore off the beaten path, be on the water (and under), search for unique local experiences, and share them at Agua Salada BCS.
