Meet Dory
Hi, I’m Dory - aka ScubaShannon! I’m a lifelong traveler, certified diver since 1987, and a SSI Open Water Scuba Instructor since 2014. My friends call me Dory because I’m a fun-loving, sometimes forgetful ocean wanderer - just like the fish! 🐠
After decades of exploring, Cozumel completely stole my heart. I’m here to share it with you through my insider dive logs, travel tips, hidden beaches, and our cozy oceanfront homes if you want to wake up steps from the reef.
