Karen Bostic
Master Scuba Diver
Master Scuba Diver Trainer

Karen’s interest in scuba diving started on a trip to Venezuela. During the month long stay, she snorkeled several times in the clear blue waters of the Caribbean. Although snorkeling was incredible, the desire to get under the water with the fish was ignited.  Shortly after returning from the trip, Karen completed her open water certification.  There’s nothing like a check out dive in the bone chilling waters of Lake Travis in January!

 Although Karen loved diving, she took a ten year hiatus.  She began diving again in 1996 starting with an open water refresher course and quickly went on to become an advanced diver, rescue diver and achieved her Divemaster certification in December 1999.  Since taking up diving again, she’s been on some wonderful trips.  They range from diving the Bonne Terre mine in Missouri to the Texas Flower Gardens, Honduras, Cozumel (many times) to Grand Cayman.  Although Karen’s been to some beautiful, clear water dive sites, she hasn’t seen too many muddy lakes she wasn’t willing to get in.
