Caitlin Cooper
Instructor
Caitlin grew up in Santa Cruz and, from an early age, was in love with the water. She enjoys all kinds of diving and loves learning new aspects of the sport. She enjoys working with Reef Check California, gathering data on the rocky reef system up and down the California coast line. There is always something to learn, and she is constantly adding more specialties to her list.
Monterey and Carmel have her favorite dive sites in the world! She also enjoys driving up north along the Sonoma and Mendocino coast lines. It is fun to get away to warm water locations but, when she does go, she just can’t wait to come home and dive Monterey.
